Custom required message not showing when field set to required via Recipient section

[mark-a-j-adriano]

The custom required message not showing when the field is used in the Recipient section dropdown list. It shows the default This field is required message instead.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a user form with an email field.
• Open the Form Fields tab
• Edit the email field and open the Validation tab
• Add a Custom error message and make sure the Is this field Required? is unchecked.
• Save and close
• Open the Recipients tab
• Click the Add Email Recipient button
• Add initial data to the fields
• Modify one of the fields and select the email field on one of the dropdown options. This will make the email field be required on the front end.
• Save or Publish and test the Front end form.

Expected result:

• custom required message should be shown to the user.

This scenario shows the custom error message so I am assuming it should be the same case for the scenario I reported above.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a user form with an email field.
• Open the Form Fields tab
• Edit the email field and open the Validation tab
• Add a Custom error message and make sure the Is this field Required? is checked.
• Save or Publish and test the Front end form.

Expected result:

• The custom required message is shown to the user.

@mark-a-j-adriano ould you please confirm the version of framework and userforms that you're using?

Could you also confirm if you're using CWP or not, and also if you're using either the starter or watea themes?

@emteknetnz -> non CWP, Custom theme

Tested with skeleton and same thing:

"silverstripe/recipe-cms": "4.x-dev",
