# Back button empties all fields (after missing empty required WYSIWYG field)

 * I have a custom post type with required custom fields created in Pods. When a
   required field is not entered and “Save Draft” button is clicked, all fields (
   except WYSIWYG) are highlighted in red, with text above reminding the user that“[
   Field name] is required.”
 * However, there is no warning on the WYSIWYG field, so when “Save Draft” is clicked
   with an empty required WYSIWYG field, an empty screen with the text “[Field name]
   is empty. < Back”. After clicking on the “Back” linked text, the user is returned
   to the form, but all of the fields are empty.
 * Why does the WYSIWYG field type behave differently than the other fields? Why
   are the fields emptied?
 * TIA!
