 * Hi dear author(s)!
    Your plugin is truly amazing and I’ve been using it on many
   websites. Probably will buy it sometime in the future.
 * So, as the title suggests I have a custom post with many custom fields in which
   some are required. Now if I try to (BACKEND) Save draft or Publish (or send to
   revision with low-level users) without filling one or more required fields the
   post is submitted but only the title will be saved.
 * Also the first time this is done while creating a new post the page will reload
   and in the reloaded page the fields will retain their inserted values while the
   title will be empty. If you check the custom post list the post will have been
   created only with the title and all the fields empty.
 * The only difference when editing a post that only has the title and not filling
   all the required fields is that when saving, after the reload, the reloaded page
   will still have the title and the fields will retain their values even if they
   have not been saved (still empty).
 * Why the form allow Saving as Draft, Publishing and Sending to Revision without
   filling all the required fields (and not saving any field meanwhile) instead 
   of just giving an error? E.g.: “This field must be filled before submission”.
 * Is this a problem only I am having or it is meant to be this way in the BACKEND?
 * Thanks a lot for any information you can give me!
 * Much appreciated, best regards
 * H.
