How to display error message on property only?
I am trying to add validation to a property without the error message appearing above the page.
So far the only way to do this seems to be : Property > Advanced > Use validate.
Every other way I've tried ( Property-Set-Messages , Call pxAddMessageToProperty , Property-Validate ) don't seem to work as it requires a refresh of the section for the error message to be displayed on the property, but this also causes the error message to display above the page.

Hi @BrynH567,
If you want field(property) level error message and not the Form(page) level, you can try using Obj-Validation.
Here are the ways you can implement. 1. You can create on Obj-Validate rule and include the validations for each property. Then call that rule in the validation tab of your flow action.
2. You can create an activity with Obj-Validate method and call the validation rule. Call this activity in the post processing of your flow action.

The Obj-Validate also displays on the Form (page). This is fine if I am calling it in the Post processing but I need a validation similar to setting a property to required in section or having property > advanced > use validate, where either having it blank or changing it to an undesired value will display the message.

Hi,
If you create a validation rule and call it from the flow action, there is a way to avoid showing the error message on top of the page.
Add a validation for the property and in the validation conditions select Validation of [Property Name] using [Edit Validate Name] fails function and enter the property name and edit validate rule, add a message to display if the validation fails.
Here in the below example, if you see zipcode validation error message is not shown on the top of the page.

Hi @BrynH567,
To show the error message on change of the property, then you can set message using Activity> obj-validate and call this activity in On Change action of property. Instead of doing the section refresh, use 'Refresh Condition' option in the Layout, to refresh when property value changes.
