Hello WeWeb Community,

I’m using the form container with the **on input change** and **on form submit** triggers for validation. This works great when starting from an empty form, but if fields are pre-populated with initial values, the validation doesn’t work on load. Would it be possible to add an **on form init** event that runs validation as soon as the form is initialized? That way, we can immediately determine whether a form with default values is valid.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
