Missing Required (*) Symbol in Multifield

Tgoodrich 27 Feb, 2014
Hi everyone,

I am putting a form together that has a Multi Field with 2 text boxes. I have set both as required but when viewing the form only the first text box label has the red * next to the label. This happens even if I set the first text box to not required and the second text box to required.

I checked the code in the chronoforms code editor and it appears the code there is good.

Now when viewing the markup using Chrome Developer Tools I see textbox 1 label class has"required_label" included but textbox 2 label doesn't have the "required_label" in the class markup.

As far as I can tell something must be going wonky in the backend while the forms output is being processed for viewing. I tried this in the latest Chrome, IE and Firefox browsers with the same result in each.

I also want to note that when filling out the form the textbox 2 still has to be filled in to submit the form even though it doesn't show the required symbol next to the label. The popup warning still shows as it should.

So to sum it up the form and all aspects of the form are working correctly, its just missing the required symbol next to the label and this only seems to happen when using Multi Field.

Here is a link to the form: http://184.154.228.17/~townofsa/index.php/calendars/submit-an-event

Anyone else seen this and have a fix?

Hi again,

Hate bumping my own post but its been almost a week.

Is this normal behaviour when using multi fields or is this a bug?

Also if it is a bug, any idea how to fix it?

Hi Tgoodrich,

Its a bug and its on the fixes list, hopefully the new release with the fix will be available by the next week!

For now you may try to add your own "*" to the labels in multi fields.

Hi Max,
Thanks for confirming and the suggestion.

By the way, even with the bugs I think this is a great product. I absolutely love how simple it is to create a form and I know I will love it even more once I learn the more advanced stuff.

Cheers and thank you for such a great product.
