Imagine from a UX standpoint, if a person/lead is typing in the form - and they aren’t the fastest typist - getting flagged as error while typing can be very annoying.

Is there a way that I can edit the API to make sure the fields are only validated once the user gets to the next fields.

Thank you!

Hey, @IzzatyBadrol 👋 Thanks for reaching out! To make sure our community has all the info they need can you tell us what version of the forms API you are using, please? @Indra and @JBeatty do you have any experience with customizing the validation timing when using the Forms API?

Thank you! – Jaycee

Hi @IzzatyBadrol,

This is not something currently supported by HubSpot Forms. Right now it debounces user input for about 1 second, if you would want to do the exact behavior that you described it would be possible [through customizing the form embed code](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/forms/advanced_form_options), by injecting custom javascript to then modify the visible CSS, though the exact code would take me a few hours to work out.

Best,
