Posted on by bsimon

I am trying to run a datacard (datacardValue3) validation on email form field to only show the error if a proper email has not been entered. I have a button to submit the form and only then the errors must show

The SharePoint email field is required field.. Here is visible property of my ErrorMessage3 and its text property set to " enter a valid email ""

When the form is run, it does not check for a proper email nor does it display the error . Can you please help?>

Would you not want to test this before submitting the form? I am assuming you are using SubmitForm and it is before the expression you shared. Also assuming this error label is inside the form's data card that has DataCardValue3 text input control.

If so, can you try this on the submit button's OnSelect?

If( IsMatch( DataCardValue3.Text, Email ) && Parent.DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Edit, false, true )

Let me know if this works or if I misunderstood something.

hi there just a suggestion:
why not have the hint text displaying the formatting required and have fill or colour set to
If(IsMatch(Self.Text,Email)=true,White,Tomato) this way the user will see a red-ish color when the format fails validation

hi @PowerAddict

Thank you. I have many fields on my form that need validation so I am using this to goto next screen
and this works but the Error shows immediately as the page loads and does not go away until the field is filled.
The other fields error correction works as intended, only displays when someone does not fill in something.
