fieldErrors seem to be not working

matthewj

I was trying to display a message on a field after doing server validation but the edit form doesn't seem to display it. below is my json
[code]
{"id":185265,"fieldErrors":[{"uname":"Username is mandatory!"}],"aaData":{}}

[/code]

any pointers?

The return format is slightly different from what you are using. Each error object has two fields, `name` and `status` where the name is the field name in error and status is the string to show.

So you'd want to return:

[code]
{
"id": 185265,
"fieldErrors": [
{
"name": "uname",
"status": "Username is mandatory!"
}
],
"aaData": {}
}
[/code]

Thank you very much Allan. It worked!

Also I think id and aadata are not required in the return json, ie below would suffice.


{"fieldErrors":[{"name": "uname","status": "Username is mandatory!"]}

That is correct. I think its in my examples as it was easier to write the libraries that way, but only fieldErrors is needed if there is actually an error.
