 * Hello Shabti & other users,
 * Is it possible to add an error message or an icon that shows up next to the form
   submit button if there are any validation errors?
 * What I mean:
    I access a form through modal button then I fill in or edit a form,
   then I click on the submit button. If there is a validation error then I will
   only see that if I scroll up the form. That is, there is no error message or 
   error icon displayed on the same screen that I’m looking at after I submit the
   form.
 * thank you 🙂

 * I agree to have this feature being implemented.
 * Currently users are complaining that they doesn’t know there is a validation 
   error when they submit the form.
 * If the validation error is next to the submit button, users will know about it.
 * Its a UX issue.
