Required fields still not working

[JoryHogeveen]

Description

I know for sure this has been reported on several occasions and we've addressed this more than once.

For some reason the required option still isn't working properly and this gets reported again:

• https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-field-36/
• https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-mandatory-field-validation-message/

Due to the nature of this bug I really think we need to check this thoroughly and implement a proper fix.
