Tell us what you are trying to do?
On this page (plus a bunch of other post forms): hidden link
I want to make the feature image upload a required field in order to complete the form, but I don't see option for it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for getting in touch.

In order to make the featured image field required you will need to make use of our Toolset Forms Hook for field validation.
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate

Also there is an example that shows you how to validate the featured image field and check if its empty.

Thanks,
Shane

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

I was able to adapt that code easily enough to amend the message and apply the rule to all the forms rather than a specific one.
Perfect thank you!
