Also noticed that the validation messages could do with allowing #DictionaryItem references, so you could have multi-lingual validation error messages. For example, for a mandatory field, you could enter "#ContactName #ContactMandatory" as the validation "Required Error Message", and then have dictionary items eg:

#ContactName = "Name" / "Nom"
#ContactMandatory = "is required." / "est obligatoire"

Make sense?

Hi Mike,

Sure it is possible:

Submit button, will fetch it's value from the dictionary item submit (if it exists)
Next button, from next
Previous button from previous

And you can also use dictionary items in the validation messages, just create a dictionary items and then instead of having a static value in the Form properties set it to the dictionary item #myitem

Hi Tim

That doesn't seem to work - take a look at this quick screencast...
http://screencast.com/t/NWNjZDBhOT

Any ideas? Should it work?

Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, you can only add 1 dictionary item.

So you should use #ContactRequired

And in that copy you'll have to add the field name. So "Name ist obligatorisch".

Or you could set the required error message on the settings tab to #ContactRequired and use this syntax.

{0} ist obligatorisch in the dictionary item.

So if you set the requred error message on the settings it's for all messages on the form. If you set it on the field it's only for that specific field.

Hi Tim

The {0} doesn't seem to work - the error message just shows "{0} ist obligatorisch" - see http://screencast.com/t/YWViM2M4MGY

Any ideas? Have I missed something?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

If you set the message on the field itself it is for this field only. And the {0} syntax won't work. Since it is for a single specific field, and you'll now the caption ..

But if you set for the entire form (on the second tab) then you can use the {0} syntax. But you'll also have to remove the message on the field.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim

Ah right, I didn't spot that setting on the second tab. I've tried that, and it's still not quite working as I'd like. In my dictionary item ("ContactRequired"), I've put "{0} ist obligatorisch", but I've also used dictionary items for my form field names ("#ContactName", "#ContactEmail", "#ContactMessage").

If I put #ContactRequired into the setting on the second tab, the errors shown are things like "#ContactName ist obligatorisch", so it's then not picking up the field names from the Dictionary.

See http://screencast.com/t/NDU2YThlY

Cheers,

I have this problem as well.

But mine is narrowed down to the "Settings" tab. And I am not able to use dictionary items for Required error message and Invalid error message.

Is the syntax below wrong? Because it does not work...

{0} #MandatoryErrorMessage
{0} #InvalidErrorMessage

Best regards,

Kalle Ekstrand

Hey Kalle,

You need to set the error message to #dictionaryKey

And then in your key have {0} is mandatory

Thanks Tim,

That makes sense. Now it works like a charm.
