hi Matt J., Do you think you might be able to give me an update on this one sometime this week ? Cheers,
Matt J.

Ludovic B. yeah this is a webflow legacy bug - which is crazy. Something like Formly might help because it has its own form validation and error handling but you'd likely have to pay for it, which is not ideal. Its crazy to think that this bug still exists to be honest.

hey Matt J., I told Webflow support about this. They're saying the browser native form validation field shows (like there's no bug), and he actually proved it to me with a screenshot.

I asked them to try it on my own form I'm waiting for their answer (just thought I'd update you on this).

Apparently it's not related to Webflow itself Matt J. (will let you know what they find, but definitely not a Webflow bug, I just tried it out too and the form field validation shows when the checkbox s required and not checked).

Ludovic B. ah okay - lets take a look - can you re-send a preview link - the one above is broken now.
Ludovic B.

Sure. Here it is :https://preview.webflow.com/preview/sotel-formation-lp?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_sou[…]p&preview=00d3740489083e463835aa87c080a4bd&workflow=preview 🙂

Ludovic B. completely vanilla form using only webflow native elements. The only thing I touched was adding a checkbox and making it required, and unchecked the box for email being required. You can see that the checkbox doesn't even render properly, which is wild to me. It also doesn't show the validation. https://checkbox-required-bug.webflow.io/

the way that I read their message back to you is that - they can see that the validation is firing itself, but the UI (the really important message) is not showing.
Matt J.

just changed the checkbox to use "custom" styling and now the actual checkbox shows up now.
Matt J.
·
yeah I really dont know how they got it to work though in that first screenshot they sent...
Ludovic B.
·
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I just replied to them. I guess I'll just add a message like "check that box to submit the form" (lol) for that very client, and will see how to fix that on future projects. Will keep you posted anyway 🙂

shoot it must be something with the style guide, I just realized out of habit that I had cloned our SG, but I deleted the global styles embed
