Select fields do not retain their values on page reload when form does not validate about kirby-dreamform HOT 3 CLOSED

I fixed the bug you mentioned and it will be included in the upcoming release in the following days.

The required attribute is added to fields that must be filled out. However, browsers will ignore this attribute since the form has the novalidate attribute set. The reason for using novalidate is that the built-in browser validation is not easily customizable without JavaScript, and we have extensive custom server-side validation checks in place.

In my opinion, this can lead to a poor user experience as form would display two different types of error messages: one from the browser's native validation and another from the server-side validation.

The Email field serves as a good example to illustrate the differences between browser and server-side validation:

As you can see, the browser validation stops way early. This pattern is similar for all other form fields.

Thanks for elaborating on the required-attribute, sounds very reasonable!
