To validate all forms, your quantity field would need to be the same ID in every form, which is not likely I don't think (if it is, then it's no problem to apply the same validation to the same field in every form.)</p> <p>However, you can write one function to force whole numbers, then add it to every form with a <em>add_filter</em> line for each form and field you want to validate. It's not optimal, especially if you are creating new forms all the time.</p> <p>The code you add to functions.php would look like this:</p> <pre><code>// form 17, field 4 add_filter(&quot;gform_field_validation_17_4&quot;, &quot;force_whole_number&quot;, 10, 4); // form 12, field 20 add_filter(&quot;gform_field_validation_12_20&quot;, &quot;force_whole_number&quot;, 10, 4); // form 4, field 11 add_filter(&quot;gform_field_validation_4_11&quot;, &quot;force_whole_number&quot;, 10, 4); // etc // then add your function one time function force_whole_number ($result, $value, $form, $field){ // your code here }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/field-validation-across-multiple-forms#post-129552 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:04:10 +0000 Josh Fialkoff 129552@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> Is it possible to change field validation criteria for a specific field in multiple forms?<br /> For instance, I want to make it so that all quantity fields must contain a single whole number.<br /> Do I need to change the validation for EACH form which has a quantity field or can I do this for all forms at once?<br /> Thanks,<br /> Josh</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_validation" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_field_validation</a> </p>
