I am trying to:
Block the submission of applications with blank required fields

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I have a form with required fields and for the past few days we have been receiving applications with these fields missing.
I tested the required fields and they work normally.
I checked our protection software (Wordfence pro) and noticed that we are receiving cyber-attacks. I set up Wordfence blocking all countries except Germany, Austria and Italy, but we keep getting Applications with the required fields blank and the IPs are coming from the blocked countries.

Can you help me understand how I can block these Empty Application submissions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

If you notice the cyber-attacks are there what if you try to use the "honeypot" plugin this will help you to protect your site from spamming and the thing is that as per the information I see on the following plugins page - there is no extra settings you will have to do for Toolset Forms as its integrated with Toolset Forms:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/honeypot/

I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.

Hi, I installed the plugin and we are no longer receiving empty applications. I hope that with your advice the problem does not arise again in the future.
Thanks for your help.
