Resolve Form Errors
When you select to Preview or Publish a Form a form, any validation issues that were encountered appear on the Form Errors page. These issues must be resolved before previewing and publishing the form.
Errors are grouped by page, then element.
- Pages containing elements with validation issues appear in the order by which they appear on the Pages tab.
- Elements with validation issues are grouped by page.
- Elements with validation issues appear in the order by which they appear on the page.
- If an element has more than one validation issue, all validation issues for that element appear with that element.
- If a field is missing both a field name and a label, then it will be referred to by its element name, such as Dropdown.
