Hi everyone, just reporting a finding while working in Glide on mobile app/page, outside of an actual Glide Form, I am using the multi-step form template in a detail screen from a list collection.
Describe the bug:
If you copy a field that is marked “Required” out of an add/edit form screen and paste it somewhere that is not an add/edit form screen, it will still have the text to be required. Which is nice and I like it, even though I do understand that outside of a form screen, the field will need validation elsewhere (like the continue button on said multi-step form template)
Expected behavior:
An option is available to turn on or off “Required” text for any entry field, but with an info panel that says “outside of a form screen, validation must be performed by different means, etc”
How to replicate:
- Create or enter a form screen, find or create a required number or text entry field. Configure that field to be “Required”, copy that field component somewhere else outside of the form. The field will still show required but self-validation would not work (expected).
Screenshot: The first “Supply Phases required for this machine” was added from scratch from the normal navigation popout; the second was copied from an actual form. However neither, have the ability to turn “Required” on or off.
