How do I display a validation error for a field that is within a TableView macro?

Kathleen Janiszewski_e5imvw

I have a TableView macro where users enter their planned hours for each quarter. The field definitions are on a ConfiForm on another page. The validation rule work, meaning, they don't allow the user to change the value. However, the user may not know that, as the entry box doesn't turn red, and there's no error message. These fields are within a TableView macro. How can I pass the message through to the user?

Hi @Kathleen Janiszewski

How is the TableView configured? Are you using the inline edits or inline individual edits?

Anyway, in any case the errors are shown when the attempt to update the records results in an error or in a validation error

Alex,

I'm using inline individual edits.

Honestly, there is no such option in "cloud" version, as this question is tagged here.

This must be a question about ConfiForms for server/data center

But a simple test with a custom validation rule and an inline edit enabled for the table shows this result http://recordit.co/p7UCICArOj

This is the configuration I am testing it with

Alex,

Yes, it's the server/datacenter version. The tags were prefilled, and I didn't change them.

Anyway, the registration macro is on a different page. Would that be the problem. I don't want the data and the form to be on the same page.
