Turn on live validation of form fields

Last updated: October 7, 2025

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

If you’ve set validation rules for a property, these rules will be applied when visitors submit a form. With live validation, visitors receive immediate feedback on their input, making it easier to correct errors and complete forms accurately.

Understand live validation of form fields

When this setting is turned on, visitors will receive live feedback based on the validation rules set for the relevant property, and they must meet these requirements to submit the form. For example, if you've set a validation rule for the Order Number property to contain only numeric values, visitors will receive feedback to correct any non-numeric entries.
