Problem:
Notification is not sent, when CRED is set to send a notification on a Edit Form, only if a Field value has changed.

Solution:
You want to send a notification if the Field has changed ANY of the values.
So that could mean, the field is now (on submit) empty, or has ANY value different from the original value.

Then you would need to set the Fields conditions to "" [empty value] and "only if value changes"

because if you check to "=" [empty value] "only if value changes", you will send the notification ONLY if it is EMPTY and ONLY if it changed from a given value.

Problem:
The post_content field using in a CRED form cannot be set to "required"

Solution (include the steps to follow here):
In WordPress, the Post Body is not a Required factor and CRED does not change the behavior of WordPress-

Either a Custom Field of type WYSIWYG with Types, set it to be required and use it on your Post Type.

Then in CRED remove the Post Editor and add the WYSIWYG instead.
You can even remove the Post Editor fully from the Post Type in the Post Types's settings in Types > your_post_type

Another approach can be to use a Custom CRED API hook:
