Empty value Check not validating on button click

A field based validation is only evaluated when the value is not null. Set "required" to true to catch this.

Hi Stefan, 

i dont want the asterix.

Why? It is a good UI design style to indicate to the user that a field is required.

But, feel free to add a form based validation, or wrap the text field into a section layout and add your validation to it.

If i use section layout validation, the validation is seen at load itself. i want it to get validated on click of button. What is a form based validation?

The form layout also supports validations.

Its same like getting the validation on load before user can input anything. I was hoping we could not show the asterix.

Have to use it i suppose.

Using a!validationMessage function will help to achieve this.

a!formLayout(
  label: "New Application",
  contents: {
    a!paragraphField(
      label: "Paragraph",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      value: ri!text,
      saveInto: { ri!text },
      refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
      height: "MEDIUM",
      validations: {}
    )
  },
  validations: a!validationMessage(
    message: "Invalid",
    showWhen: a!isNullOrEmpty(ri!text),
    validateAfter: "SUBMIT"
  ),
  buttons: a!buttonLayout(
    primaryButtons: {
      a!buttonWidget(
        label: "Submit",
        submit: true(),
        style: "PRIMARY"
      )
    }
  )
)

Perfect. Thanks you Jones .
