Required element validation not working consistently

Chickadee9 17 Dec, 2014
I just built my first form with several text fields where I set the 'Required' element validation to Yes. When I run the form if I tab thru the fields without entering anything the 'Required' msg doesn't display. I only see the msg if I enter a value in the field, tab out of the field, return to the field and delete the contents. Is there something else I have to do to make the form recognize an empty field just while tabbing thru it? The null fields are properly trapped when the submit button is pressed.
Thanks

Hi Chickadee9,

So you want the messages to appear if the field loses focus ? this feature may be available in the next update, you can send me a message using the contact us page if you need an early patch!

Hi Max. Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's exactly what I was asking, mostly because I do get the error msg if I enter something in the field then erase it. It's not critical, since the 'required' validation works perfectly when clicking the Submit button. :-) I'll look out for it in the future updates.
