  • Fields validation for Form Component Control should not be skipped on long forms

    We are using Form Component Control to show a sub-form on the main form. The main form contains a lot of fields, and the sub-form is placed at the end of the main form. We have some mandatory fields on the sub-form, and if the screen is too small, then the mandatory fields validation is skipped on save, thus letting the user save the record without having all the mandatory fields filled in. We noticed that if you scroll the main form a little bit, then the sub-form loads and all the mandatory fields work as expected.

     

    As I understood, this is expected, because the validation is done on the client side and only the visible part is rendered, but I don't think that this is a good design, considering that we can have mandatory fields in the sub-form.

     

    Proposal:

    Either don't let makers have mandatory fields in the sub form or make a toggle to forcefully render the sub-form in the UI, so it is properly validated.
