Required Fields in Forms

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have a form with 15-20 fields divided into different tabs. All fields are mandatory. I have set the 'Required' property of the data cards to true (I have not set the Sharepoint list data source columns to required), but no error is shown in case required fields are not filled in. According to my understanding, setting the required property of the data cards to 'true' should be sufficient to trigger an error when the Submit button is clicked and the field has not been filled in. How do I show an error for the specific mandatory field which has not been filled in, only when the Submit button is clicked?

    The way I've done this in the past is to use visual cues in my form.

     

    For example, I have a form that only has a 2 required fields. I then setup 2 visual cues for users, ie

    - I make the borders of these 2 fields RED if the TextInput, DropDown, Combo is empty

    - I use a 'Check' icon for submitting the form, but if any of these fields are empty this icon is set to the 'Help' icon, also in RED, with some supporting RED text underneath it eg "Some fields need to be completed before saving."

     

    Once all the required fields have data, the borders change color and the icon changes to 'Check'.

     

    It's a bit of work to setup but works well.
