Mmmm I’m not sure but I don’t think so. I’ll add it to our list of user suggestions because it would be great to have this uniform for all input elements.

In the meantime, it’ll require a bit more work but you might achieve a similar result using branching or pass through conditions in a workflow.

If a passthrough condition is false, is that an error, or does the workflow just stop? I’m trying to think through the best way to surface a message to the user regarding requiring them to input certain information.

@kevinwasie — I know you have implemented some form validation JavaScript.

Do you have any additional suggestions for this (Ex. “Try to implement JS vs something in the workflow builder”) or would you say to proceed with a conditional workflow?

It’s stopped without an error. Or if it is inside a loop, it stops the loop for this iteration and goes back to the next one.

If I may, this would be a good thing to add to the Iterator doc :slight_smile:

Agree I need a required field for date! The pass through condition also doesn’t throw an error, so the workaround becomes fairly complicated.
