Form Steps

Hello, 

I'm working on project and using the same form steps as "https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/form-steps-pattern.html", 
I'd like to change the color for the stamp field to be red if there's an error in the step. I added "validate: true() " to the next button.
Is that possible to moving forward to the next step and just change the color if the step contains an error. 

Thank you for your help!

Sure. You can make the color depending on any condition you like. Setting validate to true on any button is not necessary for this.

Unfortunately, I tried in many ways but it didn't work!

What are "many ways" and what did not work?

You need to provide additional IF condition in following piece of code, when that specific condition is true you will return "NEGATIVE", instead of "POSITIVE" or "ACCENT".

                backgroundColor: if(
                  fv!index < local!currentFormStep,
                  "POSITIVE",
                  if(
                    fv!index > local!currentFormStep,
                    "#949494",
                    "ACCENT"
                  )
                )

Thank you for your reply!

I believe for backgroundColor I can't add two if conditions, should I use OR operator to do that ?

We can have nested "if" anywhere "if" is allowed. Please refer to the following sample code.

Ex.

if(
    ,
    ,
    if(
        ,
        ,
        
    )
)
/* ------------------------------------------- */
                backgroundColor: if(
                ,
                "NEGATIVE",
                if(
                  fv!index < local!currentFormStep,
                  "POSITIVE",
                  if(
                    fv!index > local!currentFormStep,
                    "#949494",
                    "ACCENT"
                  )
                )
