  • 1.  Winshuttle Composer - Easier way to see required fields

    Posted 07-31-2020 10:56
    Anyone come up with an easier way to see required fields (other than the red *)?     I was thinking of coding each unfilled required field in yellow background, then resetting each required field's background to white once entered.  However I was hoping there was a less tedious way other than creating 2 rules per field.    Thoughts?  Experiences?    Thanks!

    Robert,
    To make them more prominent on the screen, I would use the text editor in the form design and make the labels bigger or have a different background color etc. 
    I don't mess with the CSS file too much, but perhaps you can look into that as well.  
    But it looks like you want to change the look/behavior if it is blank vs. entered. This is only possible through rules. 

    I am curious if others have input on this.

    I suspect it would be easier to write your own custom validation logic in an external javascript file to do this – rapid changing of rules and logic is fairly cumbersome within composer (as you have to deploy and test each time – you can edit JS on the fly if needed in your browser debug window)

    The class that indicates a required field on the lable is .frm_required. You could add a custom class to highlight the whole control and a function like this to call to add that highlighting.

    function setCustomRequiredStyling() {
    var requiredFields = document.querySelectorAll(".frm_required");
    for ( var i = 0; i < requiredFields.length; i++ ) {
    requiredFields[i].parentElement.classList.add("customRequired");
    }
    }

    You'd have to have another function for resetting to white once filled. We capture the event and parse out the data-rowid for table rows and the target for non-table row fields.
