Highlight mandatory fields in the powerapps if you are looking for white or empty

[Gorilla_8]

Hello guys!

I have several forms that have mandatory and visible fields depending on other fields, what I want to do is:

Would it be possible, when saving the form, that the fields that are mandatory and not filled in are highlighted for the user?

Hi @Gorilla_8 

To configure something like this, you can set the Border Color of Text Inputs or Input controls to Red or any other color of choice, when the user hits save button. 

Control -> BorderColor -> If(IsBlank(ControlName.Text), RGBA(highlighted color), RGBA(normal color))

Instead of this, you can also disable save button until all the required fields are filled.

Example: If(IsBlank(Control1.Text) || IsBlank(Control2.Text) || IsBlank(Control3.Selected.Value), displayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit) 

Hope this Helps!

Thanks, but I know this...

What I really wanted is to flash the field or something ... Complicate a little ...

In that case, you can setup the configuration as:

RequiredControls -> Border Color -> If(varHighlight && IsBlank(ControlName.Text), RGBA(highlightcolor),RGBA(normal color))

Save Button ->  If(IsBlank(Control1.Text) || IsBlank(Control2.Text) || IsBlank(Control3.Selected.Value), Set(varHighlight,true), Set(varHighlight,false)) ;If(varHighlight=false, SubmitForm(FormName)) 

Here, we are checking whether all the required fields are filled, it they are we are setting varHighlight  as false, and submitting the form, otherwise we are setting varHighlight as true and highlighting the fields.

Hope this Helps!

Hi, thanks for the help!

But how I can check if the field is required? Because, if the field is not visible and required he will show red border color and have an error...
