How to make all fields in a ROW of a table Required

This requires some tricky scripting. First, you have to detect if a change has been make in any field, then set the mandatory propery for the other elements. The most efficient way to do this is to drive the process from the fields themselves.

So, First you need a function, attached to the table row subform that tests all of the fields in the row for a non-empty value, and does the mandatory setting.

Then, in the validate event for each of the text fields in the row, place code that calls this function.

A text field empty test should be something like this.

if( (textField.rawValue != null) && !/^\s*$/.test(textField.rawValue) )
{
// Field is non-empty
}

The validate event is perfect since the data is in the process of being commited and availible in the "rawValue" property of the field. But since this is the "Validate" event, you must place this line at the end of the script

true;

So that the entry isn't inadvertantly invalidated.
