No, I don’t believe there is an option to make location required. Since you are using a Form Container, I’m not sure if there is a good solution, since you don’t have much control over the submit button. The only thing that could work is to add a text entry component that points the location column, and make that text entry required, but that’s not a good experience.

I would probably end up making a custom form, so I have more control over my own submit button actions or button visibility to only allow the submit button to work if there is a current location.

Thank You for the guidance Jeff. I was able to indirectly create a requirement that forces the user to toggle on the location component using the custom form approach.
