Form validation not launched when interface called from record view

Question

It is a FormLayout with submit button, that works as a standalone: validation before the startprocess is fired. 
 However, if I make it an interface called from a record view, it stops working: the process starts without the validation being done (basic "required" info). Here is the simplified code for the form: 
 a!formLayout(
 contents: {
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "Num&#233;ro article",
 labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
 value: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'],
 saveInto: ri!record['recordType!{b3cc31cc-1595-401f-b13c-16b953dd1f5b}ED Projet.fields.{b0296e3d-29b7-42e8-acd8-a99e9fd26649}budgetPrevisionnel'],
 required: true
 ),
 },
 ),
 },
 ),
 },
 buttons: a!buttonLayout(
 primaryButtons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "do",
 saveInto: {
 a!startProcess(
 processModel: cons!ED_PM_PROJET_CREATE,
 processParameters: {
 cancel: false, 
 projet: ri!record, 
 },
 )
 },
 submit: true,
 validate: true
 )
 },
 )
 ) 
 The interface has good behaviour (validation fires) as a standalone when I test it, 
 
 but when I call it from the record view, it doesn't work anymore. 
 
 How could I make it work as I thought it would? I really need this button to start manually the process, because I want to redirect to another record, and I don't know if Appian will let me do this with normal actions. Thanks!

I try to have validation on the form fields. 
 In fact, removing the submit=true solves the issue, but still, it puzzles me that it works in unit test, but fails in the record view context. 
 Thanks a lot!
