Is there some circumstances that required doesn't work on the textfield of interface?

Hello,

I placed text field in the editable grid and applied required function.
When testing in the interface, the required function is well applied after clicking on submit button.
However, requried function does not apply when testing in the site page.

Are there specific conditions for required function to be applied on the site as well?

Could it be because I tried to use the required function in the record's summary?

Thank you.

    Hi [mention:ef600ff8f5d2497eb2def2126dc89484:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

    I am facing the same issue where I have a text field with required set to true and there is no validationGroups added and button validate parameter is also set to true. When this interface is called from record summary view, on button click, the required validation is not working, but the form gets submitted successfully.

    For reference, line no 78 Appian recipe has similar code which is an example to make DB calls from summary view user inputs.

    It's possible that you have configured the button to ignore or skip validation.  It's possible that your input and the submit button are not in the same validation group.  Check these first and then we'll continue trying to isolate the problem (if that's not it).

      Hi, thank you for your advise,

      1. I have checked submit and validate for the button. (no configuration made to ignore or skip validation)

      2. There is no validation group made so every validation should be catched by the button.

      --sample code--

      {
      a!columnsLayout(
      columns: {
      a!columnLayout(
      contents: {
      a!gridLayout(
      label: "Sample Editable Grid",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      headerCells: {
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "ItemId"),
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "ItemType"),
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "ItemSize")
      },
      columnConfigs: {},
      rows: {
      a!forEach(
      items: ri!itemData,
      expression: {
      a!gridRowLayout(
      contents: {
      a!textField(
      label: "Text",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      value: fv!item,
      saveInto: fv!item,
      refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
      required: true,
      validations: {}
      ),
      a!textField(
      label: "Text",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      /*value: fv!item,*/
      /*saveInto: fv!item,*/
      refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
      required: true,
      validations: {}
      ),
      a!textField(
      label: "Text",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      /*value: fv!item,*/
      /*saveInto: fv!item,*/
      refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
      required: true,
      validations: {}
      )
      }
      )
      }
      )

      },
      selectionSaveInto: {},
      validations: {},
      shadeAlternateRows: true
      )
      }
      )
      }
      ),
      a!columnsLayout(
      columns: {
      a!columnLayout(
      contents: {}
      ),
      a!columnLayout(
      contents: {}
      ),
      a!columnLayout(
      contents: {
      a!buttonArrayLayout(
      buttons: {
      a!buttonWidget(
      label: "Button",
      submit: true,
      style: "NORMAL",
      validate: true
      )
      },
      align: "END"
      )
      }
      )
      }
      )
      }

      when testing on interface it works fine

      but with in site page

      the required validation doesn't work

      Hi,

      Are you using this interface inside report and calling that report in your site? If yes, in this case the validation won't work since this interface consider as a report.
