The 2nd row has error due to &amp;quot;validations&amp;quot; , the 2nd last row doesnt have an error because no data is there so &amp;quot;validation&amp;quot; won&amp;#39;t act here. The &amp;quot;Required&amp;quot; attribute will be validated on Submit action only.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#39;Validations&amp;#39; are triggered by data in field, &amp;#39;Required&amp;#39; is triggered by Submit form action.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Required Textfield in the editable grid validation not working properly</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/152504?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:37:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:c613daeb-573c-4525-a263-65809c525d81</guid><dc:creator>Anitha Dharmalingam</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;yeah ok Stefan.

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It appears that everything about your data is based upon text rather than numbers, even though the user is supposed to enter a number. Double check that there aren&amp;#39;t whitespace characters in the values provided. You might need a &lt;code&gt;trim()&lt;/code&gt; call, or better yet, ensure the data model has integers defined for these fields rather than text. You can also avoid the need to validate that a string is a number by using the &lt;code&gt;integerField&lt;/code&gt; component, so long as your use case is within &lt;code&gt;integerField&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;limitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/pastedimage1763584857021v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We need more context to understand why validation on the top row has fired to begin with, which may help us understand why the bottom row did not fire. A screenshot that shows us what the grid looks like when not globally disabled should help us with some additional context.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The text field&amp;#39;s &lt;code&gt;&lt;strong&gt;required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/code&gt; parameter definition already handles what your validation is attempting to handle. To use your custom message with it, simply pass in the &lt;code&gt;&lt;strong class="StrongText---richtext_strong"&gt;requiredMessage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&amp;nbsp;parameter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
