Feature Request: Ability to make selectable lists required

[hessorr]

--textfield has the optional parameter of making the field required. It would be great to also include this parameter on the selectable list menus so getting all types of input from the user is required before allowing the window to be closed.

Thanks!

I presume this is different to using --selectdefault which will pre-set a selected value. It's up to the user to change it to something else but it does force a value.

[hessorr]

Yes this is different. In our scenario we have create a form to gather building and department data from the user. We can't pre-set this information but we want to make sure the users make selections on these two drop downs before being able to click the next button and close it. The behavior of the required setting in the text field is exactly what we are looking for - highlighting in red if they try to close out before filling the field.

+1. I am in a similar situation as hessorr. I would like to have an option for selectable lists to be required for a department list pull down. We have 50+ departments, so we want to make sure that the customer selects their correct department before continuing.

Also looking to use a required setting for a selectable list.
