Requiring Category Selection

Summary

Required attribute doesn't appear to be working

Content

Hi all,

I'm using the BasicProductCategoryInput widget to display a simple dropdown of our categories on the ask page. We noticed that despite setting the required attribute to true and seeing the red asterisks next to the field on the page, a user can still submit the question without selecting a category. Is there a way to get the required attribute to do more than just display the asterisk, to have it actually block submission?

Code Snippet

<rn:widget path="input/BasicProductCategoryInput" name="Incident.Category" required=true label_input="Select a Category"/>

//also tried with ""
<rn:widget path="input/BasicProductCategoryInput" name="Incident.Category" required="true" label_input="Select a Category"/>
