  When I am using the global validator the user only gets a global error message at the bottom. Example code:

  Editor::inst( $db, $db_table )
  ->validator( function ( $editor, $action, $data ) {
      if ( $action === Editor::ACTION_CREATE || $action === Editor::ACTION_EDIT ) {
          foreach ( $data['data'] as $row ) {
              foreach ( $row as $value ) {
                  if(!is_ascii($value)) {
                      return 'Only ascii characters are allowed! Check your input: "'.$value.'"';
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  } );
  

  Is there an another way? The error message should appear next to the responsible text box.

  From a global validator the error message will always show in the general form error message. If you want it on a specific field you need to have the validator applied to the field instance.

  If you want to use the same validation function for multiple fields you could just create the function as a normal named function and reuse it:

  function myValidator ( $val, $data, $field, $host ) {
    ...
  }
  
  // then
  Field::inst( 'user_name' )
  ->validator( myValidator )
