The featured image is already set as required field now. If you will not upload the featured image, it will ask you to upload.

We recommend to use the Media Library to upload the images.

Please check the following video: hidden link

This is the result I need.
But I can't use the "Media Library" option because this site is a social and you don't have to see the images upload to the WordPress library but the user has to upload the image as shown in the screenshot the attachment

Ok - I've added the following code that will force the featured image as required field.

I've also set your form to not use "Media library".

add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'required_fields_func', 10, 1);
function required_fields_func($field){
    //error_log(print_r($field, true));
    if(in_array($field['id'], array('_featured_image'))){
        // in some cases $fields['data'] is an empty string, so you'll need to first set it's expected format for PHP 7.1 compatibility
        if (!is_array($field['data'])) {
            $field['data'] = array();
        }
        $field['data']['validate']['required'] = array ( 
            'active' => 1,
            'message' => 'This field is required'
        ) ;
 
         
    }
    return $field;
}
