SmartForms Conditional Validation

Dear ,

 

there are 2 approaches ,

first is the codition "If form passes validation", in this way u can validate any visible control on the form , so if u hide/show controls it will handle it and only validate visible ones ,

 

second apporach is to use "Advanced condition" , and specify on the conditions u got ,

if (Condition 1 & control 1 & control 2)

if(Condition 2 & control 3 and control 4)

 

Note : Or u could use both of these rules together to make a conditional validation ,

if condition 1 && form passes validation --> specifiy which fields to validate when its condition 1 ,

if condition 2 && form passes validation --> specify which fields to validate when its condition 2.

 

Hope it helps!

Regards.

Dear ,

For this exact scenario , yes wt u r sayin is possible , and yes displaying a msg and stop the submit from executing is the right approach to go for .
Wt wt i would do is , add data label and give it convinient name maybe FormValidation and value 1 , and on my submit button first condition is if (field 1 isnt empty and field 2 is empty) transfer 0 value to the data label .

After this condition u could use this data field value in any condition u check if these fields r validated or not .

Note: or u could do the data label approach with an expression , just to have more control like having if conditions inside the expression , if field 1 is empty return 1 or if field 1 isnt empty and firld 2 isnt empty return 1 or if field 1 isnt empty and field 2 is empty return 0 , and then use this value as discussed previously .

Hope it helps ,
Regards.
