Form Validation - Stop from Immediately Validating

[IzzatyBadrol]

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!

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, by injecting custom javascript to then modify the visible CSS, though the exact code would take me a few hours to work out.

Best,

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
