Front end form submits without required fields.

Here is the code for my front end form:

<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
	<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php acf_form(array(
					'post_id'	=> 'new',
					'field_groups'	=> array( 66 ),
					'submit_value'	=> 'Publish Your Cure!',
					'id' => 'byc'
				)); ?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

I am actually having a few issues. I am mentioning them all because they could possibly be related.

1) My form submits even when the required fields are not filled in.
2) image upload functionality does not work. I press the button and nothing happens. No console errors either.
3) I get the following console error when I submit the form:

Uncaught ReferenceError: acf is not defined ?page_id=67&updated=true&post_id=81:196

I checked that up. It comes from line 1244 of api.php in this line:

acf.o.post_id = <?php echo is_numeric($options[‘post_id’]) ? $options[‘post_id’] : ‘”‘ . $options[‘post_id’] . ‘”‘; ?>;

Apparently, acf object is not recognized.

All help is appreciated, thanks.

From where you created the custom field groups by code or from the back-end.

1. back-end : –
you can see the option to add the required field
2. through code : –
Here is an example which i created

`array (
‘key’ => ‘field_53ba5630e48e8’,
‘label’ => ‘Email’,
‘name’ => ’email’,
‘type’ => ’email’,
‘instructions’ => ‘Please enter your email’,
<strong>’required’ => 1,</strong>
‘default_value’ => ”,
‘placeholder’ => ”,
‘prepend’ => ”,
‘append’ => ”,
)

You can see the required field value.
