I am checking the option for "Cannot be blank" under the Validation and Rules properties of mandatory form elements to force users to enter field data in order to save the form.  However, users are able to leave the fields blank, and still save the form.  How do I solve this?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Welcome to the Forum

The validation only really kicks in once the submit button is pressed.  For a more pressing notification use a rule off the previous field to run when not blank and then show a dialogue box instructing them to fill the field in, or use the PLACEHOLDER functionality accessed in the fields properties to hint at this.

I hope this helps
