Required field is being bypassed

Hi, I have several forms for a local college setup where I have a specific dropdown menu for campus locations that is set as a required field. When someone choses a campus option it triggers the email notifications to go to a specific set of people upon submitting the form.

I just noticed today that I am able to submit a form if I skip the campus location option even though I have it set to required. Why is this field allowing me to bypass the campus selection? Is the field not setup right? Is there something on the backend coding that isn't working right? I need that field to be required.

Thanks for the help.

I was able to see the problem on your form http://www.jotform.us/form/52923960099162 as well.

The thing is, the Dropdown selection option is not empty when it has the default value "Please select..." .

So the required validation was just not able to recognized that the default option is not valid.

You can correct this and make the *Required Validation work by setting the default Selected to Empty. See screen below..

Hope this help. Let us know if issue remains.

That was it! My forms are working as they should now. Thank you so much for the quick and detailed response. Really appreciate it.

We are glad to be of help. Thank you for the confirmation its working now. :-)
