Multiple Field Validation

    Hi Rob - Based on your feedback from earlier today I purchased the developer license and am excited to implement this on my sites.

    I have another validation question. My customers will be customizing information used to configure their website services. I have several fields they need to enter and each field must be unique. Is there a way to do that? I assume we can set one field to include unique data, but how about multiple fields? Thanks for your help. - Todd

  2. Hey Todd, on fields you can select a "No Duplicates" option at the bottom of the field when you are editing it.

    Yes, found that, but I need the 5 fields in the form to check for dupes, so no dupes in the five fields combined.

  4. Do you have a link to your form by chance? I'm trying to wrap my head around how the no duplicates wouldn't solve for this. If I were to fill out your 5 fields and 4/5 happened to be new and unique entries, but 1 was not - then it would notify me that the one field needs to be changed, in which I'd then use a new value. Does that sound right?

    Yeah, that is correct. I assumed the no duplicate validation applied to only one field at a time. I was using another form product and that's the way it worked. So the no duplicates will apply to all fields where checked..that solves my problem. Thanks Rob!
