Set chips input field as required

Function: Set chips input field as required​

This function allows you to control whether a "chips input field" on your application's form must be filled out by the user before they can submit the form. You can make it mandatory or optional, and even customize the message shown if the field is left empty when it's required.

Input,

  • UI element (Type: UI element, specifically a "chips input field", Required): This is the specific chips input field on your form that you want to modify. You'll select it directly from your application's design.
  • Required (Type: True/False, Required): Choose True if the field must be filled out, or False if it's optional.
  • Required message (Type: A piece of text, Optional): If you set the field as Required, you can provide a custom message here that will appear if the user tries to submit the form without filling this field. If left blank, a default message like "This field is required" will be used.
