Error style

IN THIS PAGE

Description

Specify how field validation errors should be displayed. 'Block' displays errors under the field. 'Tip' creates a pop-up error when hovering over the field. 'Inline' displays them next to the field and can only be used if the 'Layout Type' is set to 'ControlWidth'. The 'Global' option displays all errors in a single location. Note that fields in Repeating Sections automatically use the 'tip' error style.

Block

Displays any validation errors underneath the field.
