Validations are not called when I use section in Dyanmic Form.

Hi Iso,

Below is the field declaration of section.

{
name:"bi",
defaultValue: "Basic Information",
type: "section",
showIf :"this.form != null",
sectionExpanded: false,
itemIds: [
"code","name"
]}

Both items included in this section are required fields and when I don't include them in section I can see validation errors/ required field errors but when section is collapsed and I click on save, the form is submitted without validation being checked for these fields and I get back end error for PK.

I need to perform validation even if section is closed/ collapsed and if there are errors then section should open on click of save with errors showing up and form not being submitted.

Is my requirement valid?

Thanks.

You can force validation of hidden fields. See DynamicForm.validate().

But are these fields set as hidden when section is collapsed. I didn't define them as hidden.

Thanks,

Yeah. Same solution.

Thanks ISO,

You did a quick fix.

I got into a problem.

I have databound fields which are not validated and in reference docs I found that handleHiddenValidationErrors(error) is the function to do that. But can anyone tell me how and where to use this function.

Thanks,
Karan.
