How To display blanked mandatory fields name in bottom with mandatory fields being highlighted in red in interface

Question

we have a requirement, where the user wants to see all the mandatory fields names, that is still blank at the bottom of the interface and also wanted to see the existing functionality of Appian, where while submitting the form, all mandatory fields are highlighted in red. 
 we have 6-7 UI, managed in a single interface, with the help of links, so we have achieved to display the blank out field names at the bottom of the interface, but now the Appian default functionality for highlighting the fields in red is not working. 
 I have used my expression rule to display the names of fields at the submit (boolean)function in the button field, so instead of directly mapping submit as true, we are checking our expression to check whether any field is still blank, if it is then displaying the names at the bottom of the interface. 
 
 so now, the only issue, we are facing here is, on the click of the submit button, the by default function to highlight the fields is not working, 
 
 Please let us know if anyone know the workaround

Or you could also set the showWhen of the fake validation RichText to only display when local!pressedSubmit is true. Then, configure one of the things the button at the bottom of the form does is to set local!pressedSubmit to true, then the fake validation will show. 
 You can try copying the validation format, or you could possibly use a blank empty read-only textField that has Validations that display when the showWhen evaluates true and the validations are also true.
