Most fields in a field report data entry form are optional by default, meaning that data enterers can leave them blank and still submit the field report data entry form for approval. The Field Report Data Entry Form Template Designer lets you set certain fields as required. Most types of fields, including options lists, text fields, and custom defined fields (CDF), can be set as required. Some elements, such as tables and fields with graphical buttons, cannot be required.

{{Note|If you select ''Display Required Colour'', it will be visual during data entry that the field is required.
When there is only one option left in the template for a single-select field then it is '''highly''' recommended to make it '''both''' required and [[Set a Default Value | '''default''']].}}
