Hello,

I'm having an issue with Action Forms where a user is prompted to sign in to submit a form when a required field is not filled out. This form previously worked just fine. Any ideas?

I don't use Action Forms, but does the form do a redirection of any kind on the submission. Maybe the permissions of the redirect URL has changed.

The default behaviour when a required field is not filled, is highllight the field (red color).

So, the behaviour you are describing has a different cause. 
As you are saying it happens only when required fields are not being filled, there are 2 areas to consider

  1. If you have a 'Bind expression' on a certain field that prevents a field to show and have the field as 'required' as well, this might stir things up
  2. As the behaviour happens after submit, you might want to check the actions that are tight to the submit. If an action is checking if someone is logged in, this might be the cause

To find the culprit, you can set the condition of an action with 1==0. As this is never true, the action is skipped. So, by adding/deleting this condition you can find out where in the flow the issue is.
