Is a return flight necessary when applying for a Thai TDAC with a DTV?

Is a return flight required on the TDAC with a DTV? I had been in the country on a DTV prior to that taking effect. I've just returned to the US and will be going back to Thailand next month. I saw it was not a required field on the form but wasn't sure if anyone had problems with just a one way ticket.

Thanks everybody for the information.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether a return flight is necessary when applying for a TDAC with a DTV. While the application form did not specify it as a required field, comments indicate mixed experiences. One person reported that the London Embassy requested proof of an onward flight, while another confirmed that a return flight is not necessary.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

I applied via the London Embassy just over a month ago and one of their follow up questions asked for proof of a flight out before the end of the 6 month period. I booked a cheap one to Vietnam and uploaded the details and they accepted it.
