Tell us what you are trying to do?
I made draft and publish save button. but draft saving can't do required field empty

1. Can draft without filling in required fields
2. Public saves must fill in all required fields

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you want to happen.

If you add a required field to a post then

1. you can save a draft version of the post without completing the required field. This is intended.

2. you cannot publish the post without completing the required field. This is expected.

This is in the back end editor, not front-end forms.

Which are you talking about? Editing posts in the back end, or with front-end forms?

I talking about editing post in front-end post forms.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

When using the front-end post forms, you'll have to fill in all the required fields to submit the form, even if you're saving the posts in the "Draft" status.

The workaround that you can use in this case is to remove the required status from those fields and you'll be able to submit the form, without filling in all the fields.

For any other form, where you do need those fields to be required, you can attach a custom function attached to the hook "cred_form_validate", so that the values of those fields are not empty:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
