I would like to know if there is a way that when a User Submits to save a Record that it populates a Field in the Table with the Location Coordinates similar to like a Time Stamp Field. If this can not be done, I see there is a Location Component that can be used that would then save the Location Coordinates, but it shows a Toggle button on the Form & by Default it is Off and I can not see a way to make it Required to be selected to On. Either option would work, please advise Thanks ---

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a way to mark the “Location” component as required now. The only work around I can think of is using a custom form, then don’t allow submitting until the column where you store the location is not empty. > [@How do I create a custom form?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014): > > I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula… ---

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