Hello,
I am having trouble getting validations to show up using a multiple dropdown component.
When I pass in "Show Validation" for validations, nothing is shown on the component.
When I do this for a dropdown component, it works as expected: My message is displayed with red text underneath the component.
How can I show validations underneath the multiple dropdown component?
Thank you, Nicholas

Most of the time validations work when the value is evaluated and this happens only when the value is not null. Here have you defined the value/saveinto params of the component? if not please define those and retry.
Interesting, when I enter a value it does display the validation message. Is there any documentation explaining this behavior or why it does not require a value for the single dropdown?
Thank you!
Its basically mentioned in all places that validations work when the value is not null.
"Validation errors to display below the field when the value is not null." - Drop down component and it is same in all validation parameters of all applicable components.
That makes sense, however still unsure why the Drop down component does not match this behavior.
I interpreted the documentation "When the value is not null" as when the validations property is not null, not the value of the component, so that is where the disconnect was.
