Symptom
- Required field custom list element validations do not work for the second time (i.e., if a value is selected and then removed, the system does not recognize that the field is empty anymore).
- This issue occurs in the Latest Form Experience.
- No validation error appears when trying to move the form to the next step, even though the required custom list element is empty and the form can be routed to next step.
