Validation - Warning message - change default button

[Philippe Heiz]

I am using Orbeon Forms (v2019.2.2) in my company to simplify certain processes.

In one form there are mandatory fields configured to trigger an Info-warning if values are missing while the form is saved.

Here's my issue: On the warning-message that pops up (if not all mandatory fields are provided on save) the default button is "Review". I would like the default/highlighted button be "Continue".

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

What does "Continue" do? Are you looking to change the button's label, or are you also seeking a different behavior?

Hi Alex,

"Continue" resumes the saving process, while "Review" cancels it. 

The whole problem, is that it creates confusion amongst the users. Most people tend to click on the default (highlighted) button without bothering to read the message.

So, to your question: I just would like to set the default focus on the "Continue" button

Hi Phil,

I understand. The logic you're referring to is located in `validation-dialog.xhtml`. When the dialog appears, it automatically sets the focus on the "cancel" button, which is associated with the Review function. To alter this behavior, you would need to modify this file. If you're willing to make this change, you can extract the file from `WEB-INF/lib/orbeon-form-runner.jar`, then place it in `WEB-INF/resources/config/apps/fr/includes/validation-dialog.xhtml`. You should add an `id="fr-validation-dialog-continue"` to the first `xf:trigger` and shift the focus from `fr-validation-dialog-cancel` to `fr-validation-dialog-continue`. Please let me know if this solution meets your needs.

    <xf:setfocus event="xxforms-dialog-open" control="fr-validation-dialog-cancel"/>

Hi Phil,

Did you have a chance to try setting the focus on the button with `<xf:setfocus>`? If so, did that work for you?
