When marking fields in a Field Editor to “Show Errors inline,” error messages are displaying twice at the top of the page instead of inline.


Marking “Show inline Error Only on Hover” results in the same behavior.


Question: For expected behavior, should there be a banner message at top as well as one inline or just the inline message?


Steps to Repro:


  1. Create new detail page for account

  2. Toggle “Show Errors inline” on field editor to true/enabled

  3. Preview page selecting existing account

  4. Remove value from “Name” field

  5. Click Save

Actual Result

Error message displays twice at top


Expected Result

Error message should display on field and possibly a banner error message at top as well (not sure if there should be any message at top or not).

Thanks!

Thanks Barry.  Thats a regression for sure (from earlier Banzai releases where we tested that funtion really well…)  

It will be fixed. 


Great, thanks Rob.

Curious what the expected result should be here.  When “Show inline” is enabled, will the errors only display at the field level or will there be a banner at top indicating there are errors in addition to the field level error info?


Hey Rob - I noticed the inline field errors are now displaying inline with 7.7.  Unfortunately, found a few other issues so started a new post at https://community.skuid.com/t/inline-field-error-display-issues-banzai-7-7?rfm=1&t….


Thanks Barry.  We are not done yet with Inline errors.  We’ll take your report into account. 


Thanks Rob!


Any updates on this?

Is the expected behavior for tables with “show errors inline” a banner at the top in addition to the inline error, or just the inline error?
