# Validate Page/Post Fields

 * I’ve noticed there isn’t much validation in the post/page edit screens, nor is
   there a way to force authors to fill out custom fields.
 * Programming wise I have seen little ways to do this.
 * A simple onclick solution would be nice to check to see if custom field X was
   filled out.
 * Is anyone aware of a solution for validating the edit screen?
