Hi, I am using appconnect form validator 1.1.2 to check if an email already exists in the database. So I applied it in the server connect panel before the insert server action. If the email exists it does not insert, so it is working as expected *but* there is no error message. I used bootstrap4 form generator before I applied form validator in the insert record form.

Is there any extra action needed in the appconnect panel?

Thanks for your reply
Greta

Hello Greta,
Probably you forgot to enter the field name in the validation step UI.

Hi Teodor,
No, I did not forget to enter the field name:

<input name="mailadressen" type="email" class="form-control" id="mailadressen" placeholder="Eingabe Mailadresse" aria-describedby="mailadressen_help">

The expression field in App Connect Validator is {{$_POST.mailadressen}}. Under Validation Properties / Field Properties the Linked Field value is

mailadressen

Under Validation Rules I ticked "Does Not Exist in Database" I checked the options Connection, Table and Message. The Column

mailadressen

was chosen.

So I can't find an error there.
Any idea?

Best,
Greta

Could you provide a link to your page where i can check that?

Was there a solution to this? I am having the exact same problem. The form validation is working and is not allowing a duplicate record but I am unable to show an error message to the user.

not working

Hello guys,
most probably you are missing the validator js file on the page if that happens. Just apply any fron-end validation on the form using the App Connect Form Validator so the js file gets added on the page.
