 * Hi,
    I have got some problem with mandatory fields.
 * It seems that some people apply for jobs without filling all the fields i checked
   as mandatory…
    I also noticed that when i try to apply without filling anything,
   it doesn’t list all the mandatory to fill, it only tells me that I must fill 
   the last mandatory.
 * I’m using version 0.6.5 on a wordpress 2.9.2.
    Do you have some hint to prevent
   this ?
 * Thx.

 * Thanks for the feedback! I’ll have a play around with the mandatory fields and
   see if I can reproduce this behaviour.

 * I’ve been unable to reproduce this problem. Could you send me a link to your 
   site, so I can see what’s happening there?

 * OK, here is the link to the “jobs section” : [http://www.carrard.com/jobs/apply/](http://www.carrard.com/jobs/apply/)
 * You’ll see that we just use a “generic” form as we don’t have job offers for 
   now.
 * I’m wondering if this could be some upload error problem…

 * Ah, I see the problem. It seems you have a space ” ” in the data field in your
   Application Form Settings. This is being automatically filled out in the form
   fields, which makes the filter think that they’re filled out, so pass the mandatory
   field check.
 * I’ll put something in there to strip out whitespace so you don’t get this confusing
   error, but the easy workaround is to just remove the space from the data field.

 * Well done !
    It seems that the whitespace have been inserted when clikin to the
   mandatory checkbox, because i’m sure not to typed it and only mandatory fields
   had it. But it could have been some older version “bug”, this “error message”
   problem was there for a long time.
 * Also, there were not whitespace for the file upload field, which was well noticed
   as empty on submitting, but some people had the form to validate without filling
   it though.
 * thx
