I have a SAEF in EE 1.7.1 and the required foelds are not working. I have hardcoded all my custom fields into the form:
{exp:weblog:entry_form weblog="database" status="closed" return="site/application_payment"}
Name: <input type="text" name="title" />
Mailing Address: input type="text" name="field_id_26" id="field_id_26" >
{category_menu}
Category
<select name="category[]" size="4" multiple="multiple">
{select_options}
</select>
{/category_menu}
Email: <input type="text" name="field_id_7" id="field_id_7" /><br >
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
{/exp:weblog:entry_form}As long as I fill in the title field I can submit the form even though the fields are set to required in the Custom Field section of my CP
