Required Fields in Web To Lead Form

[agstlmo]

I am interested in using the web to lead form on a Facebook and a Linkedin Company Page. In my current installation of 6.2 CE, I see that the last name is a required field. Is there a way to control whether this or any other lead field is required.

in studio > lead > edit fields > last_name take out the tick for required field

I tried that earlier and it didn't seem to work. I'll try again.

Has anybody solved this issue yet?
Related, I would like to make the email field a required field but can't seem to get that to work even after I fix it in Studio.

Hi
I have had the same issue, I make 'email' a 'required' field in studio but it does not appear so in the web to lead form item list, or in the html created.

I have worked around it by adding code - required="required" to the input id string in the webto lead form html - see my extract below.
Look in your html form code for the 'Email Address' part and add the bit in red - the same works for any other field you want to make required too :-)

I hope this helps, I am not a coder and very pleased to have been able to find and offer a solution :-)


<td style="height:40px" width="30%"><span>Email Address: <span><span class="required" style="color: #ff0000;">*</span></span></td>
<td style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;" width="50%"><span><input id="webtolead_email1" type="text" required="required" name="webtolead_email1" onchange="validateEmailAdd();" /></span></td>
