I have kept certain fields as *required in my portal forms. However there are scenarios where a user can just cancel and go back to the previous form; the system does not allow the user to cancel citing that the mandatory fields are not populated. What is the design approach we should use for these cases?...

You can remove the out-of-the-box 'required' parameters and implement a conditional validation strategy on each of the inputs you want to be required. If any of these fields are not completed, an XOR after the UIT redirects the flow back to the original form and directs the user to re-enter missing information.
With this approach, you can achieve the desired effect of having required fields without causing issues with cancelling out of forms.

Hmn, the out of the box feature would have been a better user experience. Will use the suggested approach. Thanks

If the forms are activity chained..., user can go back to the previous forms by using the out of the box functionality even the forms contain required fields.
