    Highlight required fields when submitting a form

    Hello, I have a Infopath 2013 form. I wanted to know how to highlight the fieldname in red color(or any) when the submit button is clicked. There is already a red asterisk appears when submit buttons clicks but my form is very complex, that's why it's hard to find the blank field. any help would be really appreciated.

    This is something I do pretty often.

     You'll need to add several rules on your submit button, which set a or some hidden fields.  Then on your fields you'll need a formatting rule which knows when a field should or should not have been completed.

    Example attached.
