    Is it possible to require mandatory fields to be filled before form submission, but still allow users to navigate to the next page without completing them?

    Hi Group_Meridian,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can easily add the Form Tabs widget to create tabs in your form. This allows users to navigate through pages without completing the required fields. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Widgets tab, enter Form Tabs in the search bar, and drag and drop it to your form.
    3. Enter your tab names in the Tabs Titles section of the panel menu on the right side of the page. Mandatory field and moving to the next page Image 1 Screenshot 40
