Forms 4 - Breaking changes

📘

Note

Optimizely Forms is supported by MVC-based websites only.

EPiServer.Form.Core

This release implements a feature request to support validation of multiple elements at once.

• When a visitor clicks Submit and has JavaScript enabled, all elements are validated at once (except CAPTCHA, because it needs server-side validation).

• In non-JS mode, all elements are validated at once. New behaviors in this release:

  • Validation messages displayed on each failed element
  • Input data on the forms is not cleared

• On server side, this function:

    EPiServer.Forms.EditView.Internal.ValidationService.ValidateFormData()
  

  processes all elements at once, and returns the array of ValidationInfo.

Breaking changes in Forms 4.0
