Stateless Form button of type button triggering validation
I have encountered what seems like a bug with buttons in stateless forms.
The button is checking for required fields on the form even though the button is not submitting any data.
I would expect a button with type Submit would check for required fields.
I would NOT expect a button of type Button to check for required fields.
Take the following example:
This is a stateless form opened into a popup window from a list view action.
Notice the single required field.
This form has two buttons.
- Submit (type Submit)
- Close (type Button)
The close button has a workflow tied to is as follows:
and the Script:
openUrl("#Script:dialog.closeAll","Same Window");
When clicking the "Close" button, the popup dialogue should close.
Instead, zoho is checking for the Required Field to have a value and my onclick script does not run.
This makes sense for a button of type Submit but it does not make sense for other buttons.
How can i override this bad behaviour?
I need buttons to be able to execute scripts without running into form validation error.
Is this a bug or am i missing something?
Yes, i know i could remove all my required fields and build massive validation scripts for all my forms. This is not really viable in my case.
