Title: Validation throws unexpected error Last modified: July 31, 2019 --- # Validation throws unexpected error * Resolved [Ronaldt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neejoh/) * (@neejoh) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validation-throws-unexpected-error/) * Hi, * Normally we have no issue with the JS form validation in Forminator. But for some reason with this specific (and not exotic by any means) form is throwing a “_Warning: No message defined for name-1_” instead of the Dutch “Your name is required” message we’ve set up in the backend. I’ll attach the full config of the form below. In that you can see the dutch “required_message” is filled in for the id “name-1”. * Other fields for that form, also translated to a Dutch error, show the default“ _This field is required._“. * You can test it on the supplied link, at the bottom right footer of that page. I’ve made a screensot too: [https://res.cloudinary.com/comsi-rtv/image/upload/v1564580327/Forminator/forminator-validation-error.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/comsi-rtv/image/upload/v1564580327/Forminator/forminator-validation-error.png) * One thing I might add is that we hide some of the labels through our custom class“ hide-label” to make the form a bit shorter, but that has been added _after_ the described validation problem was already there so that should be complete unrelated. * Kind regards, Ronald * `{"type":"form","data":{"fields":[{"id":"name-1","element_id":"name-1","form_id":" wrapper-3941-8896","type":"name","cols":12,"required":true,"field_label":"Naam"," placeholder":"Naam*","prefix_label":"Prefix","fname_label":"First Name","fname_placeholder":" E.g.
