Improvement to "Validate form": Allow execution via form rule

6

Hi everyone,

I'm currently creating quite a lot of "validate form" actions. For example:
- Date one must be after date two
- Date must be in the future
- Integer value must be positive

These are implemented as "validate form" action since I prefer validation on the server rather than on the client only.
The draw back is, that it's a poor usability. So I "recreate" the same validations as form rules with alerts, which are called when the field value is changed.
So I have to implement the same validation twice and the ALERT function isn't build for providing multi lingual messages.
Besides the duplicate work it's only a matter of time until the validation checks or messages differ.

I'm not sure whether I'm the only one doing this, but if it would be possible to call a validate form action from a form rule and display the error message in the current language it would save a lot of time and errors :)

Best regards,
Daniel
