    Check for the data once because, we could clearly see Impacted Countries is clearly showing the red border but Impacted region not hence the column in the backend which might not be added as required / mandatory column. 
     
    Please check once and Always keep the backend with no required or mandatory fields keep it as optional except the identity column and always do the validation in the Application (Power Apps).
