This is something I had not tested – I’m pretty sure that the issue is in the JavaScript as I am using formObj.find('.validated-field:visible').each(). Could you try enabling debug from Admin>Custom Fields>Validated Field Settings` (so that the minified javascript isn’t used) and try removing “:visible” from the input.js? I will take a look as well but will be gone for a few days, so it would help speed things along if making that change works for you. I imagine I used it for a reason though… just can’t remember for sure, but it possibly has to do with hidden fields that are only used for duplication (like in a repeater).
@codecandid Can you please check out this dev version of the plugin to see if it works for you? I’ve updated the code to work the same way the ACF “required” code works to better detect the fields that need to be validated.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks doublesharp. Haven’t had time to try it out yet, but I will make sure I let you know as soon as I do.
@codecandid if you get a chance to test soon it would definitely be appreciated. I am currently in the process of refactoring the plugin to be compatible with ACF5 and would like to promote these changes as well. Thanks!
Support for tabs for ACF 4 is in the Validated Fields 3.4 beta, and is natively supported in ACF 5. Thanks!
