Resolution: Fixed
> XMLUI Submission forms display errors during add/remove - ID: 2543413
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DS-151
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-151
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XMLUI
> Reporter: Charles Kiplagat
> Assignee: Tim Donohue
> Fix For: 1.5.2
>
> Attachments: dri2xhtml_structural_xsl.patch,
> org_dspace_submit_step_DescribeStep.patch
>
>
> This is not a major bug, but an annoying usability problem.
> When you are adding/removing values (via "Add" and "Remove" buttons) in
> multi-valued fields during the XMLUI submission process, you receive
> errors/warnings on empty required fields which you may not have even gotten
> to yet. During local usability testing, many users found it disconcerting
> that the interface displays validation errors next to fields before they
> even submit the entire form.
> I've found a fix to this issue which also works with the existing JSPUI.
> The patches are attached. Essentially, we add logic to only perform form
> validation when the "Next" button (or Progress Bar) is pressed. This
> ensures that users can click "Add", "Remove" on fields (or step "Back" in
> the process) without receiving validation error messages.
> The attached patches are for the org.dspace.submit.step.DescribeStep class
> (which performs backend processing of both XMLUI and JSPUI), and the
> DRI2XHTML structural.xsl which builds the default XMLUI theme. Changes to
> the DescribeStep class were tested with both the XMLUI and JSPUI (despite
> the fact that this usability problem only exists on XMLUI). The patches
> were built based on the latest code in dspace-1_5_x branch (as of
> 2009-01-28).
