 * I have a very long form on a site, about 50 fields.
    If a user fails to fill 
   in a required field i would expect a message to appear below the “submit” button
   to say that there are errors on the form but there is nothing. Below the fields
   that have not been filled in there is an error message saying “this field is 
   required” but i would expect a message to appear at the bottom of the form to
   explain that, especially as the form is so long and the field with the error 
   may be a long way up the page. Is this a setting i have wrong? All error fields
   on the messages tab are filled in.

 * Can you provide a link to your form?
    Also what version of CF7 are you using?

 * Sorry no, I have no other way.
    Did the form work correctly before the last update?

 * I’ve only recently added it so not sure.
    I am using the Flatsome theme if that
   makes any difference?

 * The only way to figure this out would be to see the back end so it might be best
   to see if you can reach out to the developer for support. You might be interested
   in using a plugin for customer validation.I use this and it works great for me.
