mprove Required Field Validation When Creating Posts
When creating a post in FluentCommunity, required-field validation could be made much more user-friendly.
Current Behaviour
If a user tries to publish a post without completing a required field—for example:
- Post title/heading
- Post content/message
- Required tag
FluentCommunity currently displays an error notification/toast in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
The problem is that this notification tells the user there is an error, but it does not clearly show which field needs attention.
Requested Behaviour
Instead of relying only on the bottom-right error notification, please add inline validation directly to the affected field.
For example, if the user forgets to select a required tag:
**Tag ***
Please select a tag.
The Tag field should also receive a visible error state, such as a red border or other appropriate validation styling.
The same behaviour should apply to all required fields.
Recommended UX
When the user clicks Publish/Post:
- Validate all required fields.
- Highlight each missing or invalid field.
- Display a short validation message directly underneath or beside that field.
- Automatically focus or scroll to the first field containing an error.
- Keep the existing toast notification if desired, but use it only as a secondary notification rather than the primary way of communicating validation errors.
Yes, a toast in a corner that disappears way too quickly is not great for validation errors. I’ve seen this in Fluent backends as well. I hope they change it.
Shahjahan Jewel its a very small implementation.. please remove toast for warnings, and guidance.. and use it only for errors
