Bug #3457
openDisplay Validation/Error Messages for Failed Requirements on All Pages
0%
Description
Currently, when form validations or requirements (e.g., required fields, invalid inputs, missing selections) fail, users are not clearly informed why the action failed. There is no message or visible indicator in many cases.
Expected Result:
On all relevant pages (e.g., registration forms, event creation, login, etc.), show clear, user-friendly error messages indicating which requirement failed and why.
Messages should appear inline near the affected field or in a consistent error summary section.
Examples:
“Email field is required.”
“Please select at least one option.”
“Event name must be at least 5 characters long.”
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to any form (e.g., registration, event creation).
Leave a required field empty or provide invalid input.
Click submit and observe that no clear feedback is shown.
Impact:
Users do not understand what went wrong.
Increases form abandonment and frustration.
Leads to support issues and incomplete data submission.
Recommended Fix:
Implement a consistent validation message framework.
Show messages near the failing field and/or as a summary.
Use clear language with required indicators (e.g., red asterisks, tooltips, etc.).
