 * I created a form but when I fill it out and click on submit it goes back and 
   highlights the (required) address and the (required) birthdate in pink as if 
   I didn’t fill them out except I did. If I make them not required then it will
   submit. But I want them to be required.
    What am I missing? What do I need to
   do differently? Carolyn

 * Hello!
 * There seems to be an issue with the address field, it will be fixed in a release
   today. Regarding the date of birth. It seems to work fine with me, the field 
   is marked as required unless you fill it. Is it not working for you? and if so,
   could you send me an screenshot please?

 * It does appear that the address field is working now. Thank you.
    Now when I 
   fill out the form and submit it highlights the birthdate even tho I have filled
   it out. I am going to try to attach a screen shot
 * Thanks

 * Interesting. did you try to submit? It is when you try to submit that the date
   of birth field turns pink like I didn’t fill it out (because its required) but
   I did fill it out.
 * I”m not sure how to send a screenshot. I don’t see an upload button.
