How do I make form fields required using Adobe Acrobat Sign in the browser?

I am using Adobe Acrobat Sign in the Microsoft Edge browser, and I cannot locate the field properties setting that can be used to make each form field required. I previously sent out an agreement for signature using Adobe Sign in the Edge browser, and the signatory completed only one of three necessary form fields.  I am trying to prevent this from happening again. How can I make each form field required?

 

EDIT: This issue is only true for the “Date of Signing” form field. Is this field automatically required, or does it auto-populate when the assigned signer signs?

    Hi Ashley32593826vphy,


    Thank you for reaching out.


    We would like to clarify that the "Date of Signing" field automatically populates with the current date when the signer adds their signature to the document. There’s no need for the recipient to fill in this field; it will be filled automatically once the signer opens the document sent for signature.

    For more information, refer to the following help document: Overview of authored fields.


    Let us know if you have any questions.
