Cause This is usually caused by the form field ID does not exactly match the value of the FORM\_FIELD\_REQUIRED text. Solution Check the spelling of the field ID entered in the FORM\_FIELD\_REQUIRED text value. This ID is case sensitive as well and must match the case of the form field ID. ---

If the section is on readonly with a condition (like "CurrentWorkflowAction != “ACTION\_NAME”), there are the problem too. Solution : If you want to use readonly condition, you need to check “Required” directly on the field and not on the “Behavior” panel ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/workflowgen/original/1X/5c34473270ffbffff7ca5fb1711d78fea849e9d2.png)
