Set chips input field as required

Function: Set chips input field as required​

This action allows you to control whether a "Chips Input Field" UI element on your application's form must be filled out by the user before they can submit the form. You can also customize the message displayed if the field is left empty when it's required.

Input​

  • UI element (PART - Chips Input Field, Required): The specific "Chips Input Field" on your form that you want to modify. This is the element where users can enter multiple items (like tags or skills) as "chips."
  • Required (BOOLEAN, Required): Choose True if users must enter a value into this field. Choose False if leaving the field empty is allowed.
  • Required message (STRING, Optional): If you set the field as Required (True), this is the custom message that will appear to the user if they try to submit the form without filling out this field. If left empty, a default message like "This field is required" will be used.

Output​

This function does not produce any direct output. It modifies the behavior of the selected UI element on your form.
