Mandatory Field Validation - troublesome OOTB functionality
Hi,
We are working on an application which has a number of mandatory fields such as Text and Date fields that need to be inputted by the user.
simplified example:
-----------------------------------------------------
Name* : ____________
Date* : ____________
Other*: ____________
{{Cancel}} {{Submit}}
-----------------------------------------------------
It seems that the OOTB validation kicks in as soon as the user tabs (or clicks) away from a field. This leads to a situation where a user will see unnecessary validation errors when just clicking around the page. (For example, a user might decide to fill in the Date* field before Name*. But when the Name* field loses focus, he's immediately presented with an error saying that Name* is mandatory. This is pretty annoying to our users..)
Is there a OOTB way to do the validation when clicking {{Submit}} only? And not before then?
Thanks
Peter
