Customize Error Messages in Form Validations

When users enter data, the application checks for correctness based on the constraints configured in Forms validation and throws an error message explaining what needs to be corrected and allowing to try again.

When a user fills out the form, but their form entry doesn't validate, they'll see some errors, which look like this(screenshot) by default. 

You can modify and customize the wording of these errors in Form Validation Settings.  

Users can input the the exact type of data necessary for form submission with guided custom error messages.

Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1: From any module, open a form and access the the Form Validations tab

Step 2: Click the "Add New" button in the Form Validations section

Step 3: Provide a name to the validation with a short description

Step 3: Define the error message that must display to the user on entering incorrect data

Step 4: Click the Save button within the Form Validation section

Remember: Make sure to click the Save button only within the Form Validations section, to see it appear in the Form Validations list. 

Result: During form entry, when a user provides incorrect input, the system will prompt to key in the correct information.
