I’ve deleted this entry field and brought it back.  
I’ve changed the required and auto focus settings.  
I’ve moved it up and down the form to different positions.

No matter what I do, no matter where I move it, the form always defaults to start at this entry field.

Any ideas?

I need the form to start at the first entry “First Name”.

Do you have autofocus turned on for that one entry component?

Hey Jeff, I “did”. I turned it off and it resolved the issue. I don’t understand though, I had the other field entries on autofocus as well.

Not sure. I guess typically you would only set autofocus on one component, but maybe the last one added takes priority???

Just did a quick test. The case here is the last component on the screen with autofocus will take priority, regardless of when the autofocus eass added.
