Required field error on form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I form is connected to a SP list. Where some of the fields are required. I have a "submit" button which submits the form when completed. 

 

If there are required fields that hasn't been filled i get an error on submit and it doesn't submit. This is by design. and it highlights the required fields red.

 

What i would like it to do is when the "submit" button is pressed tell me all the fields that are missing and navigate me to the missing fields. I am not sure where to start.

Shows the submit button.Shows the submit button.

    You can use the Valid property of your form to determine if it is valid and all required fields are completed.

    There is not an easy way to "jump" to a particular field in your form.  You can use the SetFocus function to take you to a particular control, but determining that control is a lot of hard-coded values.

     

    What you are displaying though is designed to be relatively user friendly/aware.  User hits submit and it is not valid, so the form shows red errors to indicate what needs to be completed.  Is this not good?

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
