Set Field Error

The Set Field Error action displays an error message on one or more specified fields in your form. This is useful for validation, user feedback, and preventing workflow progression when required fields are missing or invalid.

Properties and Explanation

Field Name: Select one or more fields (from a multi-select list) where the error message should be shown.

Error: Enter the error message or formula to display on the selected fields. You can use the Formula Editor for dynamic error messages.

Set Error on Fields that contains Null Value: If checked, the error will only be set on fields that are empty or null. If unchecked, the error will be set on all selected fields regardless of their value.

Stop Process: If checked, the process will be prevented from advancing to the next state when an error is set. This is useful for enforcing required fields or blocking submission until errors are resolved.

• The action evaluates the error message/formula and applies it to the selected fields.

• You can use this action to enforce business rules, guide users, and ensure data quality.

Full Configuration Example

Below is a screenshot of the Set Field Error action configuration, showing all properties set for field names, error message, null check, and process control:

• In this example, the action is configured to show an error on empty required fields and stop the process from advancing until the errors are fixed.

• When the action is triggered, the user sees the error messages and must correct the fields before proceeding.
