New Signer Experience: Two validation errors instead of one

Hi Esteban,

I believe we have reported this before, however, it was not fixed in the exact same way as the classic signing ceremony - that the error types and their error messages are still categorized and prioritized in below order:

If required > If less than minimal length (front end prevents signer to insert more than maximum length) > If pattern is respected

So in your case, you will see your customized error message as long as you entered anything to the field.

So, just so I understand correctly: A user will get a "required" error message ahead of the regex error message if there is no value in the field. And there is no way to override the required error message. Is that correct?

Yes, and since the required error message is general for all fields, you can only customize the default wording at the account level, not field level.

Can I do this?

.withValidation(FieldValidatorBuilder.basic().required().withErrorMessage("Please enter a valid retirement date (MM/YYYY)"))
.withValidation(FieldValidatorBuilder.regex("^\\d{2}/\\d{4}$").withErrorMessage("Please enter a valid retirement date (MM/YYYY)"))

Hi Esteban,

This seems working for me! Let me test further and reply back to you!

Okay, thank you.

I see. Let me put it in another way - if you already have the Regular expression like below, which implies the input can't be empty, should be exactly 2 numbers follows by slash follows by 4 numbers (7 chars), you no longer need to explicitly specify .required() or .minLength()/.maxLength()

.withValidation(FieldValidatorBuilder.regex("^\\d{2}/\\d{4}$").withErrorMessage("Please enter a valid retirement date (MM/YYYY)"))

In which case, only the customized error message will be displayed.

Ok, so all I need to do is take out the "required()" and it will work as expected?

Exactly!
