Validation fails with default message even when all fields are correct,

How can I troubleshoot validation errors on a very long form? My problem is that the form seems to be validating everything correctly (it notices when an individual question or comment field is left empty) but it always returns the default

"Please fill in all fields before submitting."

at the top of the page even though every single field in the page is filled in. All of the fields are set to be "Not Empty" except for email which is set to be an email field.

I have debug turned on but can't find the error because it is not giving me anything to work with. Any idea what might be causing this validation error or what I can do to find the problem?

Hi MaestroC,

That isn't a ChronoForms Error message that I recognise and ChronoForms doesn't have a check for all fields being completed (only individual ones). Have you added it as a custom message somewhere?

Bob

Yes, that "Please fill in all fields before submitting" is the message I put in the default error message area in the Server Validation segment.

Hi MaestroC,

OK, then what are the settings you have in the Serverside Validation?

Bob

Here you go. Everything from my Edit Action window for Server Validation

Action Label: 
ValidateForm

Default error: 
Please fill in all fields before submitting.

Hi MaestroC,

Hmmm - that all looks OK to me.

Just to check - there is an Event Loop action in the On Fail box and nothing in the On Success box?

Bob

In the OnSuccess part of the validation item I have the DB save and TCPDF actions. I figured they had to be inside there rather than below the Server Validation action otherwise they would run even if the form was not valid. Is that correct or do I need to move them down below?

Hi MaestroC,

That should be OK - though in general I recommend leaving the On Success boxes empty unless there is a particular need to use them. If you have the Event Loop in the On Fail then putting the other actions after the Server Validation works in the same way.

I don't see what is triggering the error :-( Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here and I'll take a closer look.

Bob
