Currently, users are unable to make certain form fields “required” on pop-up forms. I think it’s common logic that if you can require form fields on a regular form, you should be able to require form fields on a pop-up form.

Hi @millennnialmktr ,

All form fields are currently required by default on a pop-up form. For any submissions that are missing values after editing a form and adding fields, be sure to check the preview tab and select “update” in the top right corner to publish these fields 🙂

Yes, the field is required. Unfortunately, you can bypass the “required” field by clicking outside of the pop-up. So it doesn’t work for page gating. Would love to be able to control the pop-up getting closed out by the required field.
