Error message when input does not match regex not clear #366

Closed pgrill79 closed 3 weeks ago

pgrill79 commented 3 weeks ago

If the text input for an input field does not match the defined regular expression, the error message is a little bit cryptic to the user:

Proposals:

  1. Show the expected regex (also not very clear to the user but better than [object Object])
  2. Show the input description as error message - then you can describe the user what is expected

Went for option 1). The message now is: Must match a specific format (regexp): A+B+C+ Not ideal, but at least this only shows up once the user tries to submit with an illegal value.

Option 2): input and description are already visible via label / tooltip and probably do not offer any additional hint as to what's wrong
