Why can users submit when field read-only and required?

Question

I want to restrict users from being able to create new features in a layer they're viewing in Field Maps. I'm not able to create a separate View to control that way, so as a workaround I have made a couple of the fields (using Field Maps Designer):

- Read only

- Required

- Null values not allowed

I thought this would stop the user being able to create and submit a new feature in Field Maps because those fields are blank so shouldn't be able to submit. However this is not the case - users can still submit these features even though the Required fields are blank. Is this a deliberate "feature" in Field Maps? I can't figure out why it's happening.

The editing is just turned off at the field level in the form, rather than service level. I can't change it at a service level as other users do need to be able to edit the geometry.

I'm using a test account rather than an admin account, so they should be very limited in what they can edit.

To address 'read only' did you turn off editing for the view service?

I am also having issues with the 'mandatory' fields. Users can still complete the form even those those fields are not filled out.

I am going to raise a ticket with esri on this one.
