Submitting Forms in LF Cloud is no longer jumping to missing required field

I noticed this morning that if I try to submit a form without filling a required field, the page is no longer jumping to the field that is missing like it always has in the past. It makes it difficult to find which field I missed because you must scroll through the entire form to find the "Value is required text".

I am not sure what originally caused this change, but we are working on making the new form designer more accessible to visually impaired audiences. What this generally means (as the specifics are still being worked on) is on submit focus is moved to the error toast so screen readers can read the error message aloud. Subsequent tab focuses should move you into possibly the first invalid field, or just the first field on the form (working this out right now).

I think we could be smart about this especially for small forms. If there is only one error jump to that one field with the error.

I am also toying with the idea of having "go-to-field" links in the submission error message which would I think solve both visually impaired and regular user use cases.

It seemed previously that it would just take you to the top field that is required. Really jumping to any required field of 1 or more when clicking submit has helped so much for forms that do not fit on one page because even if you flip from black to red, it is off screen so the user does not see anything. It really just appears as if though the submit button is broken now.

We definitely want to find a good middle ground between the two. Some flavor of scrolling to required fields will likely come with our updates!
