Error Message Label Stays Visible on Form - How to set Check Boxes in Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Two part question.

 

First issue, I had to delete my form and create a new screen as I was having issues with that duplicated screen.

Created new screen, added form.

I must have made a change somewhere but not sure what.

I have a label that shows an error message.  The fields are all marked as REQUIRED.

The label should only show when I click the submit button, and the required filed is blank.

They are just showing now.

Also, along with that I switched out a combo box and put in check boxes (easier for the end user).

This data card is required, the error message just shows, but also I was able to submit a test case WITHOUT checking a box, and it submitted.  It should be a requirement to ahve a check box checked.

This is how I swapped the combo box for the check boxes:

    Ok for the error, it looks like taking out Parent.Error and putting my own text is what caused that.

    So, anyway to fill in my own text?

    Ok, fixed my error message with one of @RandyHayes posts.  Once again, he fixed me.

    So the only thing I need to fix is the requirement of the checkboxes not working.

    Quick note on the above, cause I still ahve two issues.

    The error message shows till you put input into the boxes, which is fine.

     

    For the datacard where I removed the combo box and put in the check boxes, it does not show up at all using randy's steps in the post I shared.

     

    So I need to fix the error on the datacard that I modified, and make it required.

    @lardo5150 

    So where are you on this then now?  What part is not working and what formulas do you suspect?

    I was just getting ready to post.  I got it all squared away.

    I had to delete and put the datacard back for the checkboxes.

    used your code for the error messages I found earlier, and go the checkboxes to be a requirement!

    Thanks @RandyHayes .............now if you want to take a peak at that timezone issue thread I made yesterday, that would be cool 😉
