Is there any way to disable in-built error validation( This field is required ) for Email in Dynamic 365 Marketing Form? We were able to disable for First name and Last name. Basically we have implemented custom error validation but along with that we're getting in-built error pop-up as well which is not required now as shown in attachment. We tried to remove that validation from Form designer but then we're not able to Save the form.

Anytime you begin to mess with the OOB structure, you run the risk of the form/email no longer being stable.

Hi,

Marketing form provides the OOB function to set the error validation ( This field is required ).
1. For the outbound marketing form the settings are as follows.

2. For the real-time marketing form the settings are as follows.

I hope my answer is helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

As I mentioned, we were able to set required property off for first name and last name fields but not for email field. While trying for email, we're getting below error and not able to save form:

Hi,

Since the matching strategy associated with the form matches based on email addresses by default, the email field must have the Required attribute set.

However, the matching strategy must have at least one matching attribute. Otherwise, the form will report an error.

Therefore, it is possible to change the matching attribute in the matching strategy and set it to another field. In this way, the email field will not be forced to be set to the Required attribute.

It is important to highlight that the field associated with the matching attribute in the matching strategy must be added to the form and must be set to the Required attribute.

I hope my answer is helpful to you! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,

Okay. This way we're good for first name , last name and email fields but we need to keep the new Field( for example City ) on page as well and without that we won't be able to Save the form. Correct?

We need only three fields in form first name , last name and email

Hi,

Your understanding is correct.
It is a design requirement of the product that at least one field of the required attribute needs to exist in the form.

Got it. Make sense.

Well, in order to meet custom error validation we have added below JS code in form HTML script tag. Is that correct approach for this custom implementation?

document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0].addEventListener("invalid", function(e){e.preventDefault();}, true);
