What's the simplest way to make fields required in the "add new on the fly" option. I have a chained menu group tied together with the first field set to add on the fly. it works out well except if someone skips a field. Then, of course, the chained menu does not fully load.

Hi.
just make sure you have set up these fields as required on the simple add page on the Visual Editor tab.

I'm not sure of the difference between simple add page that you note and the add pages seen inside the table list of the visual editor. All the fields are required within the regular add pages

You notice in your project that the "add new" to a column in one page will add the "add" page of that backend table you want to add values on the fly
So say for example you have a page called ticket_add.asp - in that page you have a column with add new on fly option - this add new would be adding new records to the table technicians - therefore in your project go to the add page of the technicians table which gets added to your project automatically if it was defined in another page via the "add new on fly" - now edit that page defining mandatory fields - complete title - whatever you want basically...
