Managing field validation in hidden sections
Define whether your users receive a warning when they leave a hidden required field empty. For example, if you use tabs, you might want to display validation errors for empty fields that are not currently active.
On the other hand, if you hide layouts or sections because you do not need them in a specific context, the best practice might be to turn off validation.- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
- Expand the SysAdmin category, and then click Dynamic System Setting.
- Open the validateHiddenField setting.
- On the Settings tab, in the Value
field, define the hidden field validation policy:
- To validate fields even though they are hidden, enter true.
- To stop the application from validating hidden fields, even if they are required, enter false.
- Click Save.
