I have a survey123 form with a required question (Single Select Grid). When I select the required question option, red asterisks appear, correctly indicating that the question is required. However, when I save and publish the survey, the question reverts to being not required, the red asterisks disappear, and the question can be skipped. Other required questions (ttext entries) behave normally.

I have tried copying the question, copying the survey, deleting the original question and creating a new question, creating a new survey with the same question. In all cases, I am experiencing the same behavior.

Have you updated the survey on your device?

Yes.  I also created new surveys with the same type of question (single select grid) so cookies aren't an issue, and I had the same issue.

I had the same issue, and after chatting with Esri Tech Support it has been identified as a bug. As a workaround (until the bug is addressed), you can publish your survey from Survey123 Connect and the question requirement will be retained.

From Esri:

Updates have been made to the following defect which you are associated with:
BUG-000174906 - Specifying a Single Select Grid question as required is not retained after saving or publishing.

Status: In Product Plan 
Alternate Solution:
 

  • Publish the survey from Survey123 Connect
