The fields should also have the required flag as in a normal form. ![Image 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/3/a/3aaf916a8f4433792e65a2702a7c9bf5d1435cf5.png) ---

I made an MVP using Adalo and I’m going to abandon the tool because it doesn’t have this functionality. Such a basic thing like that … ---

If I had that I didn’t have this basic functionality, I wouldn’t have hired it. Let it be registered for those who are thinking of hiring: there is still a lot of basic stuff in the tool. Think carefully because you will be very angry if you need something robust. ---

Any update on this? Feature was requested over a year and a half ago.. The built-in forms are not very pretty, so custom forms are almost mandatory, but they don’t have the “required” option available. This can be a critical feature for some apps. ---
