Field validation not working

Hi,I try to add email validation to a field with validation handler. In share-form-config-custom.xml, added next lines:<appearance> <field id="my:thirdPartyEmail"> <constraint-handlers> <constraint type="MANDATORY" validation-handler="Alfresco.forms.validation.email

I think that there is no

 <constraint type="MANDATORY" validation-handler="Alfresco.forms.validation.email" event="keyup" /> ‍

You can verify it by yourelf in the file "form-config.xml" under "C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\"
You'll find different constraints regrouped into the balise <constraint-handlers> </constraint-handlers>

Instead of using this constraint, I advice you to use the validation used in the file "forms-runtime.js " , C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\js\forms-runtime.js
You'll find there Alfresco.forms.validation.email , an example of this validation is used in the page of user creation C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\components\console\users.js

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I tried the configuration and the js script from the posts and still the same result. The form is saved without any validation. Used debug in browser and the js validation function is never call. Looks like the constraint handler for the field is not read.
