Hey Skuid Product team,
You know I have much love for all the great work you do. However, I want to emphatically shine light on a bug that is 3 years overdue.
https://community.skuid.com/t/no-error-on-blank-required-field-with-add-none-option
If a field is marked as required in the Page Composer (not on SFDC object level), the save action should not execute.
This is proving extremely difficult and costly to build workarounds for…e.g. JS snippets to validate if fields on page have values, custom error handling branch actions, etc.
In the most recent Nautilus Notes, you said you wanted feedback…even the hard stuff, so here it is:
Required fields should throw a required error message upon save. Please patch.
Thanks,
Conlan
Conlan, I really appreciate the feedback. I just went and tested and it seems to be working for me - fields marked as required at the Skuid level stop a Save action in a wizard. Am I understanding the problem correctly? I’m in Spark V1, rendered in VF.

This is what the action sequence looks like:

What’s the field type of the field you’re making required?
Thanks Matt. I’ve got some 20+ fields (text, date, picklist, etc.) on this particular step, and experienced it on other steps of this page, and in other environments (spent the weekend putting in a workaround in another environment), and seen other users report it here in the community (here for example).
This particular environment is running 11.2.6. Specifically, the issue occurs when no changes are made to the fields in that model. So if a user clicks too fast through the wizard without filling out any questions/fields, the save error does not throw. If however the user updates at least one of the fields, then the system detects changes, and will throw the error upon saving.
Matt - I just tested this on Skuid platform (v1 page) and same result. See screencast here: http://recordit.co/7h7yOr9m3r
Ok, interesting. If they click through slowly but don’t make any changes, does the error still throw? I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the UI ‘catching up’ to a fast clicker, or something related to default values and the model state.
Hmm, I just tested on V1 Platform, same result as before. Did you check “Roll Back Entire Save on Any Error” on your model save action? 
No a catching up issue…I can let the page sit there for over a minute, and still click through. Yes, I’ve got rollback entire save checked.
I think it could be a default values and model state thing…I often like to use UI-Only Checkboxes in Branch Action Formulas, and I always have to Check and then Uncheck the box in a Event-Triggered Page Load action sequence to get the page to recognize the value.
What are the field properties for that Vanity Label field? If it’s a number, is it possible that it’s showing as blank, but in the data it’s “0”? Boolean fields can be difficult, as they really have three options: True, False and null (which is often the default state). For conditions around checkboxes, I will often set logic to be = Not True (as opposed to = False) to account for a default null state.
Still no luck recreating this - tried a number field, a UI-only field, tested default values, and the rules are being enforced every time. If you can share those field properties, it may help identify the issue.
Good to know for default states of UI-Only checkboxes…back to issue at hand though…
Here is another example in the screencast link below, again from Skuid Platform (v1) where I have a handful of different field types, and the save error message only throws when a change is detected to any of these value:

Could you paste the XML? Thanks!

There’s XML of another page where I am experiencing this issue. That’s 11.2.6 on Salesforce.
I’ll continue posting here each time I am working with an environment/page where I have experienced this issue.
Hey Matt,
I’m having another customer report this as a “BIG” issue. Can you please continue to investigate? I have a fairly good feeling that it is due to a Save action within the action sequence. The save action will throw the error, but the action sequence continues…so within a wizard, if the last action is navigating to the next step, the user still moves forward to the next step, even though the save action threw the error (and required fields were not filled out).
Thank you,
Conlan
Conlan, I haven’t been able to get back into this recently. Let me see if anyone else has been able to reproduce. Thanks,
Matt
