User is NOT forced to complete required custom user profile fields

When a user logs into Moodle if any of the required custom profile fields is blank they should be directed to their profile page to complete those automatically. That doesn't seem to be working since 3.7.

1. As an admin, go to Site administration ► Users ► Accounts ► User profile fields
2. Select "Text input" field and set following:
   • shortname = qa
   • Name = Moodle QA
   • Is this field required? = Yes
   • Is this field locked? = No
3. Press "Save changes"
4. Log in as student and ensure you get redirected to "Edit profile" page
5. Enter value for "Moodle QA" as "Test" and press "Update profile"
6. Logout and login as same student.
7. This time you should be redirected to dashboard.
8. Logout and Login as admin
9. Go to Site administration ► Users ► Accounts ► User profile fields
10. Click "Edit" Icon next to "Moodle QA" field and set following:
    • Is this field required? = No
11. Press "Save changes"
12. Log in as another student and ensure you don't get redirected to "Edit profile" page
