Hello,

I've searched the archives, Google, the wiki (so I'm sorry if the answer to 
this is there, but I just missed it.)

Is there any way, short of editing the source, to have more friendly validation errors. So, rather than "Input 
must match [Mandatory]" I could change it to say "This field is required." Or, instead of "Input 
must match ^[a-zA-Z]+$", it could say, "Value must contain only letters."

Thanks,

Mike




Hello Mike,

you can change /Elements/ValidateCustomFields in a plugin  like that that.
The code is like that:


my %Messages = ("[Mandatory]" => "This field is required",
                "[^[a-zA-Z]+]" => "This field must contain letters");

 foreach my $value( @values ) {
        next if $CF->MatchPattern($value);
my $msg = exists($Messages{$CF->FriendlyPattern}) ?$Messages{$CF->FriendlyPattern} :"Input must match".$CF->FriendlyPattern ;
        $m->notes( ('InvalidField-' . $CF->Id) => $msg );
        push @res, $msg;
        $valid = 0;
    }

That does work.
