Required "asterisk" based on XSD

Is it possible display asterisk next to the label when the field is required based on the XSD definition?

E.g.
I have type

<xsd:simpleType name="Text">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:normalizedString">
<xsd:minLength value="1"/>
<xsd:maxLength value="240"/>
<xsd:whiteSpace value="replace"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

and this means that field is required.

Engine checks if a value is correct based on the XSD but the field is not marked as required.

To have such decorating element I have to add to each field bind with required="true()" and I have hundreds of fields in my form.

Hi Jarek,

Are you saying that you're importing this schema in Form Builder, and having
a reference to from the "Validations and Alerts" tab in "Control Settings"?
If so, no, detecting that the field is required based on the datatype and
marking it as such isn't supported; you'll have to click that "Yes" radio
button in that dialog.

Re: Required "asterisk" based on XSD

Hi Alex,

no. I'm saying that I just have schema included in the form without having any direct reference.

I just wonder if it can work that way. E.g. as a form parameter "mark required/build validation based on xsd schema" or something like that.

Of course, I know I can add an attribute required="true()" to each field but it means:

1. I have to define xf:bind for each existing field

2. I don't see any advantage (ok only one - can show to users info that "field is not valid" :) ) in using XSD now. To display any useful information to users I need to define field by field alert and rewrite validation rules to XForms format.

Why I'm asking about that. Let's consider real life scenario:

1. you have existing model - external system xml data format

2. you have existing xsd for such model - 99% of the validation can be done on that level.

3. you want to build an interface using in XForms but you don't want to click 1mln times, because you have 100 different templates to build :)

4. you know XSLT and you can write "simple" transformation that produces code in Form builder format.

Sounds simple :)

It's just a feature request :)

And I would like to say that form builder is a very good and advanced tool! Really good job!

Hi Jarek,

Got it for the feature request, and I understand how it would makes sense to
"infer" whether a field is required from the schema, to avoid having to
repeat that information with a `xf:bind`.
