[#7091] Required field alert on moving out of field

6 years 1 month ago - 6 years 1 month ago #303089 by phredcg
I apologize if this has been asked already, but I could not find anything about this anywhere.

When watching a couple of the tutorials, I noticed that there was an alert/error message at the field level in red if a required field was not filled in. On the websites where I am using community builder, there is only a warning that a field is required upon clicking the final registration button.

Having that alert if a field is clicked in and then left without filling it in would be very helpful. Is there a configuration setting for this, or is that done through one of the plugins.

Thanks!

That should already be the case, but seams to be some sort of odd issue with jQuery Validate not becoming active until the form is in use. You have to add text, select a different input, now remove your text, and then select a different input and it'll throw the required error. Same behavior seen in CB can be seen on jQuery Validate demo page below.

jqueryvalidation.org/files/demo/

Not sure what the cause is or solution, but will check their github to see if it has been reported yet.

Ok, checked jQuery Validate github and it's indeed a bug already reported. Can find the report below.

github.com/jquery-validation/jquery-validation/issues/1975

Looks like a workaround is to trigger validation on initial view, which isn't exactly ideal. We'll either wait for it to be fixed in jQuery Validate or try to find a better workaround.
