Does the Request an Update field in Workflows/automation have the ability to make fields required
![Ncudney](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
I am looking for a way to make fields required in the Request an Update form that gets emailed once triggered in Workflows. I know this is capability is available in the initial form but I am unable to find a way to do this as a workflow.

That is not currently possible, but it would be awesome if we could do it. Feel free to browse the Product Ideas tab at the top of this page.

Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- You can add a Workflow that triggers as long as not all of the required fields have been filled, sending them an Update Request.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Someone else has added this idea, look up "Make fields required in update request workflows" to upvote it!

Thank you, @Ncudney , I have upvoted it! I also would suggest using Dynamic View as a workaround. Here, you can have folks update rows and make certain fields required in order to save their updates. I feel that Dynamic View can help in many of these cases, but maybe not necessarily everything!
Dynamic View is a premium app, so not everyone may necessarily have access to it.
