We have a client requirement, says all required field validation error should be shown all at form level using SetFormNotification. If multiple required fields doesn't answered, on save, each field shows error message one y one. Instead of that, all error messages should be visible on Form top by using SetFormNotificaiton.

I attached onSave function to Form onSave envent. But some how, Onsave is not triggering until all required fields are answered. Is there a way to suppress on field level errorr or also show all error on Form level.

I thought to remove Business required from attribute, but wants to keep that.

Hi hello,

You cant supress it without you set is to Optional.

So set all to Optional.

Then you use javascript to dynamically set is required.

The Form Onsave event is to validate before save, so it wont be triggered after saving.

So if you have required field it will stop CRM form to save, you need to set them optional then only after that you set to required.

Thanks

Have you thought of using Business Rules to show error messages rather than making fields required? This still prevents save, but also shows the error message next to the field and next to the save button (so this is at form level, albeit not all at once as notifications).

Also, why not use onChange events to validate fields and if they have missing or unsuitable values, show the notification then, why wait until save? (I would avoid doing these onLoad, though).

HI Adam,

Thanks for response.

Client needs to show all required error messages on top of form, while on save. Client is okay to show error at field level. But during on save, instead of show each one at a time, client need to see all at once, so that he/she can take action.

Event though we use business rule it is same functionality.

Regarding Onchange event, if field not get focused(I mean no text entry/selection done) how can we trigger onChange event.

As Aileen mentioned, I set field as optional. on form load I set as required. Still it acts like OOB functionality, prevent to hit OnSave event, if any unanswered required fields find, system focus that field.

I appreciate all of your time.

Hi,

I think the problem is that you need a required field that behaves like an optional field. You could set your "required" fields to be requirement level = Business Recommended, that will let the form pass its validation and fire your js event. In your JS you could look for any fields that have a requirement level of Recommended and don't have a value, and you would know this is a field missing data. Then you set your error message on the form and cancel the save event. This should give you the appropriate behavior.

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as a Verified answer.

Thanks,

Aiden
