    Validation Severity

    I'm currently using v8.2p_2012-05-18/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2012-05-18)

    Would it be possible to add a severity indicator to your validation framework? Currently all validators behave as a pass/fail check where failed checks result in an error that prevents saving. It would be nice to indicate a severity on validations to support "informational" and "warning" checks. These would still allow users to save data, but would show an icon indicator (warning or info icon) with a message that might be important to the user.

    Use Cases:

    A doctor's office has a scheduler that collects a small set of required information on a new patient when they schedule their initial visit. Once they come in for the visit, they fill out forms and capture the rest of the important information to complete the record.

    A user is entering a batch of payments. The batch total can be entered up front and balanced against as they enter payments. If the remaining field on the batch is greater than zero we display an warning or info flag.

    We're aware of the use case and this is something we've considered - it would be a valid Feature Sponsorship.

    Right now it's relatively straightforward to accomplish by adding a BlurbItem that is initially hidden, and showing it when you need to display an informational message.
