billing_country not validated
-
Upon checkout, the VAT is calculated based on the country and state selected.
The billing_country field is required, and the billing_state field is required.
The checkout process does not validate whether the billing_country field is selected if the billing_state field is completed manually. So the order is placed without the VAT being calculated. How can I validate that either:
1. the billing_country field is selected
2. The billing_state field cannot be manually filled.Usage Example:
User fills billing state manually while setting the billing country field to “Select…”

Hi there,
By default, the “Country / Region” field is required, even if the State field has been manually filled. For example, trying to enter a value for State while the country is still set to “Select…” does not let me proceed:
Link to image: https://d.pr/i/hG81ZIPlease try switching back to the default Storefront theme and deactivate plugins aside from WooCommerce, then check to see if you are still able to place an order without selecting Country. If that resolves the issue, then switch your theme back and reactivate plugins one-by-one until you find the one that is causing the issue.
We have a guide for this here:

@kellymetal The issue in my case is that even if the country field looks like it is required as you point in your image, the form will re-calculate the VAT with respect to country=none and will permit the post action of the form (will not validate the form In respect to required fields). In this case, the VAT is null, so no VAT will be calculated to the order and the order will be placed normally, which is not correct.
Example of misuse:
User selects country
User selects state
User de-selects country
User applies custom text to state
