Field acting required although it's not set at required

[Christy_Roach]

Hi - I'm well into the creation of a form that is tied to a Sharepoint custom list.  I had the form all laid out and then realized that I had missed a question that needed to be visible.  So I added it in and set it up in the same exact way I did all of the other questions in that category.  I moved on to creating the submit button to send the entry to the sharepoint list. 

I'm getting the error message back that their is a required field not completed.  But it's only that one added field and when I fill that in, the submit button does what it's supposed to.  Help! Pulling my hair out and don't want to have to go way back to a previous version because I've gotten so far along.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi @Christy_Roach,

Did you refresh the data source after the new column was added to the Sharepoint list?

• View/Data Sources
• Click the 3 dots
• Refresh

What field is showing as "Required"? Is it that pesky "Title" column from Sharepoint?

• On your Sharepoint list, click the Title column then make it Not Required

Good luck!

Personally I have perfer not using forms, but lay the controls out manually, much more flexibility.

On my save button I use  ForAll and Patch. A bit more advanced but once you understand, better.

Here is an example for a timesheet I did...

ForAll(
    cboEmployee.SelectedItems.Employee,
    Patch(
        appDailyJobSheets_1,
        Defaults(appDailyJobSheets_1),
        {
            ContractNo: cboDropContractNo_2.Selected.Contract,
            CategoryID: cboCategory_2.Selected.Result,
            Added: Today(),
            Lunch: chkLunch.Value,
            Hours_x0020_Work: HoursWorked.Text,
            Entered_x0020_By: User().FullName,
            tID: Value(tID_input.Text),
            Item_x0020_Description: cboItemDescription_2.Selected.Result,
            DateText: Text(
                DateValue11_2.SelectedDate,
                "[$-en-US]dd/mm/yy"
            ),
            Start: HourValue11_2.Selected.Value & ":" & MinuteValue11_2.Selected.Value,
            End: HourValue12_2.Selected.Value & ":" & MinuteValue12_2.Selected.Value,
            Start_x0020_Time: DateValue11_2.SelectedDate + Time(
                Value(HourValue11_2.Selected.Value),
                Value(MinuteValue11_2.Selected.Value),
                0
            ),
            Employee: Employee
        }
    )

Hi @Christy_Roach,

Have you set the Required property of the corresponding Data card within your Edit form to true?

Is the added field a Required/Mandatory field in your SP list?

Please check if you have set the Required property of the corresponding Data card  relaetd to the added field within your Edit form to true, if yes, please set it to false.

If the added field is not a Required/Mandatory field in your SP list, I agree with @AndySid's thought almost, you could consider submit your form data into your SP list using Patch function instead of SubmitForm function.

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Patch(
         'YourSPList',
          Defaults('YourSPList'),
          {
             Column1: DataCardValue1.Text,
             Column2: DataCardValue2.Text,
             Column3: DataCardValue3.Text,
             ....
          }
)

More details about Patch function, please check the following article:

Also please consider take a try to remove the custom form from your SP list, and then re-create a new one, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Thank you everyone! I got this figured out.  It actually another field all together causing the issue.
