The auto-filled data is retained in text field but its throwing the required validation

Question

Hi, 
 In Action forms for few of the text field I'm using the auto filled data (autofill feature existing in browser). So, data is retaining in the text field but it's throwing a required validation. if I re-enter the values manually, required validation is removed. 
 
 Any idea on this behavior?

I fear Appian will not be very supportive of browser auto-fill functionality, at least when it comes to certain corner cases like you've described here. If you believe the behavior is reproducible and counter to what a user might EVER reasonably expect, however, you might raise a support case with Appian (being sure to describe the exact reproduction conditions) and make them aware at least, in case a minor adjustment to the back-end behavior of the field would improve things.

If it's easily reproducible in 25.1 then I'd suggest anyone being impacted by it should open a support case with Appian. I don't use the "input purpose" feature much (or at all) in my app so I haven't seen it one way or another yet. And it doesn't seem to work in Interface Designer.

Hi Jonathan Sanderson Good Day!!! We also face the same issue in our application. We raised an Appian Support ticket as well. They told like the Appian Product team is already aware of this issue they are working on this as well. May be we can expect this issue resolved as an hotfix later. 
 
 Thanks
