Im using BarTender Automation 9.4 SR1

 

I want to make a field in the prompt design that is a requirement for printing, if the field is empty it shouldnt be able to print the label (or the print button greyed out). Is there an easy way to get this done?

  There's really not a way to achieve that, you could however write a VB script that says basically 'if value = "" than value = format.cancelprinting("Field left blank")', that would stop printing and give a message if the field was left blank.

  Highlight the field you want to set to required. The bounding box should be green. Right mouse button and choose Properties.  On the Transformations Tab you have two choices depending on your field Data Type.  Use Range Checking for Numbers, where the minimum value is "1" or more.  For Text use the Number of Characters from the same tab, set the Require Minimum value to at least one or more.
