It would be super FABULOUS to have the a check mark box option when creating a template that would enable you to make a text field change required - just like how that function exists with images (forcing the customer to change the image before being able to purchase).

This would be a beneficial update for these reasons, plus more:

  1. Make the customer more aware of what other creative options are included with the template - options they would have not have been aware of unless they clicked on "edit this design further."

  2. Less returns from customers who "forgot" to change a portion of text that should have been customized (even though they get the red warning text when a template field had not been changed when trying to check out).

Here is an example of an invite with back text that I would make a requirement to change before checking out:

The back text enables the customer to realize that they can include other popular elements to their beach invite (ie. flowers, palm tree leaves, or even their own photo). It notifies them that the artwork pieces can be arranged to their liking (which is super helpful if they have an abundance of text), etc.

Hope to see this update in the future, thanks Zazzle... 🙂

There is a red text warning that is visible to customers when they don't edit the text templates.

True that there is a red text warning... But, I have found that customers still forget to change the text field on occasion. And, some customer's are confused about red text warnings altogether and inquire about it in chat.

I just think having the option to make it required would eliminate the possibilities of it occurring. 🙂
