    Invalid error message not displaying

    I have a contact form with an email input field. When I add "Invalid address" to the Invalid Error Message option it does not display - instead it displays "Email is not valid" - which annoyingly wraps. The Required Error Message works fine.... Any ideas?

    Hi David and welcome to our :)

    What version of Contour are you using?

    Could you perhaps also post a screendump of your settings?

    OK - worked it out. It appears to be set from the settings tab. An inconsistncy, but at least it now works!

    Hi David

    Glad you managed to figure it out - what did you have to set in the settings tab?

    Agreed, this is an important UI "bug" in Contour; if you don't delete the "{0} is invalid" text from the Settings tab under the "Invalid error message" field, then it doesn't matter what specific invalid error message you assign to any field; all will take that as the default message for all fields.

    That logic is backwards; field-specific "invalid error message" values should override the form-level "invalid error message".

    Agreed, field defined error message should override general message
