Allow blank entry

[Cologne]

Hi,

what is the diffrence if I check or uncheck "Allow blank entry".

Will the validation take action anyway?

If I uncheck, will it make the field required?

Cheers,
Denis

Yes, if you uncheck the allow blank entry option, the element will become required, the entry will need to pass the validation type selected.


For example, if you select alpha numeric validation, a blank entry is neither a letter or a number so validation will pass. It will only pass if you select the Allow Blank Entry option.

If you dont want to allow blank entry (Require that the element be filed out) dont check the allow blank entry option.
