Generic select field is not required as defined

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user had set their generic field to required, however on the frontend the field was not being required.

Solution:

In my testing of this on the client's site the field does display as required.

It could be caching for the client that was causing this issue.

I have a cred form that users to my website use to submit an application for a free language course at hidden link

The form is fairly simple, includes some CRED fields and two generic fields.
The two generic fields are both select type and have the Required option set to 1.:

<label>Jezik</label>
[cred_generic_field type='select' field='jezik-select' class='prijava-select form-control' output='bootstrap']
            {
            "required":1,
            "default":[],
            "options":[{"value":"1","label":"angleščina"},{"value":"2","label":"nemščina"}]
            }
      [/cred_generic_field]

But as you can see on the link above, the form does not stop the user from submitting if they don't select anything.

Could you please let me know if I'm doing wrong?

Hi Matija,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I took a look at this for you and the field does seem to be required. See Screenshot

Could you send me a screenshot of what is happening on your end ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I'm sorry, I don't really get what's going on. I could swear that this field was not required when I submitted the post, which is, of course, absurd.

Thanks anyway.
