Compulsory data element not seems to be working

 

Hi All,
Am try to set certain data element as compulsory or mandatory in data set
but some reason the assigned compulsory data element does not seem to have
any effect on the data sets or forms. Forms or data sets can be completed
even though they contain compulsory data element. Is this a bug or a my
doing something wrong? My steps below.

*From Data set App*

   1. Select Data sets
   2. Left click on the desired Data set
   3. Select "Edit Compulsory Data Element" from the dropdown
   4. From the list of data element double on the desired data element
   5. then click save


*From the Date entry App*

   1. Select the data set/form you added the compulsory data element
   2. Field other fields in the form except the compulsory data element
   3. then click on "Complete"


Idealy the form should not be completed or submitted if the compulsory data
element is not filled, but in my case the form / data set completes even
though the compulsory data element was neglected.

Thanks,
Bayoh.
