One of the blocks in your if() in validation has to be empty. Otherwise, no matter if the value is there or not, it will always throw a validation.
Secondly, did you set validate: true in the button?
i have corrected both the points but still validation is not happening
Hello Tabassum Why use validation if its just a null check. you can use required and a required message. unless you want to evaluate before submit.
The code seems a bit off. I think you pasted the button's code in between the textField. I have simplified the code for you.
a!textField( label: "Title:", labelPosition: "JUSTIFIED", value: local!data.requestTitle, saveInto: local!data.requestTitle, refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS", characterLimit: 100, required: true, ),
Now can you tell me what is happening when you click on the button?
Validations are only triggered if there is a non-null value. If you want to make a field required, set "required" to true.
I want to validate the textbox without clicking on submit button.The requirement is without clicking on submit button ,the validation message should be displayed under each field
I don't think that's an option. You will have to go with required parameter. Validations only work when you have a non null value to deal with.
You can disable the button until the fields are filled and display a message for users to understand why it is disabled.
Do I need a display message using section layout or is it possible to display message under the field its seem like how we get for required field?
You can display a message when the user hovers over the button. That message should tell them why they are not able to click the button and doing what will enable it. Example - Fill in the name to submit.
