I want to make my first name and surname fields required fields in a user form. This is a default user with no additional fields. How do i do it?

You would have two choices.

One is to add a little JS that added the required attribute to the fields in question, which would add native browser-based validation. (See hidden link.)

The other would be to add server-side validation using the cred_form_validate hook ( https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate).

(A final option for the long term would be to request that in Forms it would be possible to directly add attributes to form fields: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/)
