It is probably how you implemented it, it probably wasn't done in a way that it is field specific. Post your custom code to <a href="http://www.pastie.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pastie.org/</a> and provide a link to it so we can take a look at your custom validation code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/httpwwwiconic5commemberstestaccountcarsadd-a-car#post-21050 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:47:06 +0000 growthspark 21050@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi.<br /> I was able to use the custom validation hook to write up a validation for a VIN field on my form. Works awesome, was able to include checks for caps, string length, certain characters - amazing.</p> <p>Problem is, when the function is in there, it disables validation on the other form fields... so as long as my custom validation is active, required fields don't show errors.<br /> When I remove it, my VIN field doesn't get checked (of course) but validations return for everything else.</p> <p>Does this mean that if I use custom validation, I have to define new checks for each field in my form? </p>
