I am creating a form where I have a need to include 4 option buttons in a
group and make it mandatory that one of them be selected(clicked). When I
set up the properties, I have checked the box that this field cannot be
blank; however, when testing the form and attempting to save it, there are
errors on that group when 1 is selected. When creating the form, 4 option
buttons were inserted at one time (all the same field). Is there something
more that needs to be done in the properties? Any help is appreciated.

In the properties of one of the option buttons, select the checkbox that
says: "This button is selected by default".

Hello

Delete the control and try to insert it again. Sometimes Infopath acts weird.
