Hi Jeff, Since I've been working on mobile I don't have much room either. I use a label for error messages with includeInLayout and visible set to false and place it inside the FormItem container. If it's a vertical form item then the error label shows up beneath the form item. If it's horizontal layout I need to put both the form item and the error label in a VGroup. This allows the form to flow when error messages are visible.
