[apranger00]

Fields that are marked as "required": true in the config file are not always required when using the app.

@apranger00 could you share your qrscout config here? I'm unable to replicate

Ah. We check whether a required field has been satisfied by checking if the field is null, undefined, or the empty string "". This is because we can't require fields to change from their default value (what if a robot scores 0 notes and the default value for that field is 0?)

In your config, scouter has a default value of N_A , and match has a default value of 9999. If you change those both to be default values of "" , then the required behavior should behave as you expect.

Solved! This took care of it. Thanks for the help.
