Form submitting with required fields empty

Posted on by Brian-M 437 Super User 2024 Season 1

I have a single form page with required fields.  However, if I leave everything blank, the form submits:

And you can see in the database it is actually submitting blank data:

How can I get this form to perform the required fields check before submitting?

    Hi @Brian-M,

     

    You could add Power Fx on the Submit button OnSelect action to perform input validation before submitting the form.

    Yeah but any idea why the built-in validation isn't working?   I have another form and validation works perfectly so I'm not sure why it's not working here.

    Oh wait, I know.  For this form I'm using Patch, not SubmitForm.  So yeah, I'll have to validate another way.
