Make the drop down fields required in a form

MoredaRiviere · April 2021

Hello,

We have a form where we could make mandatory some fields, just adding * to the name of the field in the form edition. The problem is that it does not work if the field is a drop down type.

How could I make this kind of fields mandatory?

Thank you.

Hello,

Can you send me a screenshot how your contact form structure looks like, please?

Please, check the contact form where the dropdown menu is required, and it works as it should.

Thanks

Hello Phil,

The following is our contact form structure:

Thank you.

Please, add an include_blank attribute to it (see the example from my screenshot) because now the first position from the list is selected by default.

Thanks

Thank you Phil,

Now these fields are mandatory, but the name of the fields do not appear. Is there any way to display inside the field "sector" and "país" as the title of the fields, not to choose? I know that I could place the titles above the fields, but we'd prefer the title inside the field like the other fields.

Thanks.

You can also try the first_as_label attribute instead.
