Wix Studio Text Input Field Error Message

This may have a simple solution, but I can’t seem to find an answer in the API or the Community.

I have been coding in the Wix Editor for many years and recently started migration to the Wix Studio Editor. I am trying to set the appearance of a text input field when there is an error condition using the design panel in the Studio Editor. It appears that the Error state for a text input field automatically creates an error message line under the field in addition to outlining in red, etc. This causes display problems, as suddenly other elements on the page are going to move to accommodate the error message then move back when the error is corrected. Not a good UI impact. In the Wix Editor, the error state only changed colors, so everything stayed in place.

There does not seem to be a way to suppress the error message line. Without this ability, one has to write a bunch of code to use custom validations, manipulate the field appearance, manipulate the validity settings, etc. Does not seem like a good alternative. Even if I wanted the error message line, there does not appear to be any way to customize the message itself.

Am I missing something here, or is this something that needs to be added to list of Studio Editor fixes?

In the input settings, you should see an option to change the Error message format from Inline to Tooltip. Tooltip is what you would have had on the Wix Editor :slight_smile:

I would just say. “Duh,” except…

This is what I see when using the Studio editor – no option for error message format. Is there some higher level setting that enables this?

Ahhh - it’s a little different with the Login/Signup forms :sweat_smile:

While I don’t have an ETA, we are working towards updates in this area - but for now, it doesn’t seem possible to change this behaviour. It’s also worth considering from a UX perspective, the error message is often a good indicator of what is wrong and needs fixing

Understand on the UX. To be clear, this is a custom login popup, not a modification of the Wix login form. Here is another screen shot from a Studio site that I just created with a blank canvas.

Same issue. I guess a ticket is the next step.

I chatted with the Studio support folks yesterday. The solution that Noah provided is not yet in full release, so until that happens I will have to find a work around.
