I am putting forms level error messaging in for required fields. I've setup my error messaging and saved the rule but when I submit a form, I do not see any error message show up. Am I missing a setting in my setup?

Are you using IE11 compatibility view? I can reproduce the issue with same setting.

IE11 compatibility view is not supported in 10.2.0.789. You may upgrade to 10.2.1 and above, or disable the compatibility view setting like this:

Remove your site from the list and uncheck the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View"

Just to clarify when you submit the form with nothing in those fields does it successfully submit or does it display the wrong message/no message?

No, form does not submit. It also does not display any message, nor does it indicate what page may contain errors. The submit is on the last page of the form, but the required fields are on the second page of the form.

Ok,

So i've done some tests and it looks like something is blocking the default behaviour of your form. In my tests this all works properly.

When you press the submit button does it auto select your second page where the fields are?

Can you post any JavaScript or css you have on that form?

Aaron, I would agree, because it does not select the second page where the fields are when it just does nothing. There is no JavaScript or css on this form. Plain Jane native LF Forms functionality with some lookups, and some field rules.

Hmmm, do me a favor. Create a brand new form with just a required single line text box in it. Preview it and try and submit. Let me know if you see an error message.

Aaron,

When I created a new form with a required single line text box, I got a generic error message when submitting the form with the required field empty. (see req field error)

When I created a forms error message rule (see req field error2) and resubmitted that form with the required field empty, I continued to get the generic error, NOT the error I put into my rule which says 'Please fill in {_field_label} with your Name'.

This is really weird, are you able to use any screen shareing software. Im getting the feeling to solve this i may actualy need to see the source code in action :S

My site was not in the list, but the Display intranet sites in compatibility view was checked. When I unchecked this and ran my form, I got error messaging specific to each field after tabbing off the field. This is unlike before when I was only getting the 'this is required field' generic error message on the submit.

I'm scheduling upgrade to 10.2.1 update 2 shortly, so I will not be changing the compatibility settings corporate-wide just yet.

Thank you for your answer to this issue!
