Field Validations

You can add validations to a field to ensure the validity of data being entered into the CMS and through the APIs.

Marking a field as required

Fields can be marked as required to make sure that CMS entries and API endpoints throw an error in case this field is missing.

1. Select a field you want to mark as required.
2. Go to the VALIDATION tab in the properties panel for the field.
3. Toggle the required field input to on.

Changes are saved automatically but still need to be published to reflect in the APIs and the Content management system.

Validation Builder

The validation builder allows users to build powerful and granular validation logic that needs to be applied to fields.

Validation Options

Depending on the input type different validation options are applicable. See Field Types for a list of the different validation operations.

Adding a validation

1. To add a validation, click on + Add a validation
2. Select what property you want to apply the validation on.
   For example Value Length
3. Select the condition which will be applied on the property.
   For example Greater Than (>)
4. Enter the value against which the property will be compared.
   For example 20

Testing a validation

You can test a validation by entering an input into the test validation field next to the validation builder.
