The auto-filled data is retained in text field but its throwing the required validation

Question

Hi, 
 In Action forms for few of the text field I'm using the auto filled data (autofill feature existing in browser). So, data is retaining in the text field but it's throwing a required validation. if I re-enter the values manually, required validation is removed. 
 
 Any idea on this behavior?

I fear Appian will not be very supportive of browser auto-fill functionality, at least when it comes to certain corner cases like you've described here. If you believe the behavior is reproducible and counter to what a user might EVER reasonably expect, however, you might raise a support case with Appian (being sure to describe the exact reproduction conditions) and make them aware at least, in case a minor adjustment to the back-end behavior of the field would improve things.
