Validations on a child section on button click on the wrapper

I actually ran across this a!validateMessage function which, for a moment, I thought worked as I set validateAfter to "submit" but the problem I ran into is it also validated when I clicked "add" in the form interface (which has properly working field level validations and is not the issue here) when a user adds a debtor or creditor, and not just the "next" button in the entire page wrapper. But I might be able to work up some logic in this function to see if this would work as a possibility... but nothing yet.

I've been messing around with this and I cannot get the validation group passed through the rule input. I'm not sure what I'm missing haha. On the documentation it specifically says that if validationGroup is assigned, any validations or required messages won't run until the validationGroup button is clicked. But on the child interface the validation message is showing all the time and on the parent interface it displays on page load still. I can't figure out how to get it to not show up until the button is clicked.

The field level validations in the form input fields are working, that's not the issue. I basically need to validate the sectionLayout of the child interface. the "Next" button is on the parent wrapper interface. It needs to validate that there is a debtor and a creditor added when a user clicks "next". If one or the other isn't added, then an error message will display.

Right now, nothing is validated when a user clicks "next". We have made it to where the error message displays upon page-load and will disappear once a user has added a debtor and creditor, but that's not the desired behavior.

Then it should work. what problem are you facing? Is it not validating in any case or is it validating on both of the above cases?

Validate is set to true

You just set the validate to true for your "Next" button and add these validations on your fields. That should work. Make sure to set the validate to false on the "Back" button.

Hello KristinForeyt

Have you tried validation Group? use and Rule input in your child interface and then configure the same in button widget of your parent interface.
