A universally required field is a custom field. It must have a value whenever a record is saved within Salesforce, the Lightning Platform API, Connect Offline, Salesforce for Outlook, the Self-Service portal, or automated processes, such as Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case.

Field validation rules Use a field validation rule to check the value that you enter in a field when you leave the field.
