Dynamics Community Forum Thread Details

We have a single line text field called “Phone Number” that is not required on form submission, but whose value needs to be validated to contain 10 digits to be considered a valid number.

I am trying to replicate Dynamics validation popup message:

I would like to add the “This field is required” popover to Phone number field once it contains data is invalid.

I noticed that on submit of the form, the following HTML element is added to the <form> element:

<p id="error_7f685ebb-7c54-4cff-a1bc-772562d25c38" role="alert" hidden="">E-mail*: This field is required</p>

</div>

I thought that I could simply add another p tag with a similar id, but the actual id coming from the Phone number field like so:

<p id="error_ac6a065d-364e-40d6-9a19-d9bf1ed4aa3e" role="alert" hidden="">Phone Number*: This field is required</p>

For more context, here’s the actual Phone number field HTML: (notice that I matched the input’s id to the validation p tag id above)

<label class="lp-ellipsis" for="ac6a065d-364e-40d6-9a19-d9bf1ed4aa3e" title="">Phone number</label>

</div>

I’m guessing that the div#validation-summary is returned from the server side and there’s no way for me to hack the HTML to get this validation behavior for my other fields that have conditional validation requirements.

Here’s my custom validation code that I attach in the Marketing Form raw HTML after the ending </form> tag:

MsCrmMkt.MsCrmFormLoader.on('formSubmit', function(event) {

if (!jQuery(".phone-number-validation").inputmask("isComplete")) {

event.preventDefault();

}

event.setFormNotification(function (n) {

console.log(n);

});

</script>

I can prevent the submission and show an alert, but it’s not visually appealing. I’d like to replicate what Microsoft has in place.

I tried reading documentation, but it’s very minimal:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/developer/marketing-form-client-side-extensibility

This question is close to what I’m trying to achieve, but I notice it’s adding a custom error message. If this is what I have to do, that’s fine, but I’m trying to use the same UI/UX Microsoft has in place.

Here’s another great post about how to achieve this, but it looks like Dynamics would block us from trying to replicate its validation UI:

Thank you!
