    If I'm understanding your suggestion correctly, you can accomplish this by changing the system overrides within the field properties. For the required field, right click and select Field Properties. Under validation, change the Level to "3-Show Error, Stay on Input". Other options include the below...as indicated by the descriptions, the first two will allow the user to save without inputting the value.

    0-No Warning, Allow Save

    1-Warning, Allow Save

    2-Show Error, Disallow Save

    3-Show Error, Stay on Input

    I am not aware of any system-wide setting or default setting.
