7 years ago Hi @iosdev-republicofapps,
In our app we have a similar feature, the difference is that we didn't add the error messaging to the form fields because it would mean that the layout would change and this could be problematic since you could be typing the currently focused field would jump to a different position, bothering the user.
The way we solved this issue was by having an "error indicator" in the toolbar with a table view that will list all the validation errors, tapping one validation error would focus the current form field. Something like this:

Hi,
Really enjoying Form, thanks again for making this available!
I notice that when form fields fail validation, they turn to red, which is great. But although the color is red, it doesn't show what is wrong, only that something is wrong with the field. I thought about showing validation failures in an alert, but that would require the user to remember those failure messages and then go correct them.
What about adding an option to show validation failures in red text appended to the field's title if the field has a title. The validation failure message would disappear from the field title when the form passed validation. Or would it need to disappear as soon as the field's current value passed validation (as feedback that the user's changes were working)? That might be complicated for cross-field validations.
Just curious what your thoughts were about this and if you had any suggestions? I'm happy to help with a PR for this.
Thanks.
