Hi all,

as you can see in the attached image; when I configure a new Device, how and where I can set the propertyValue displayed the warning string “The field ‘propertyValue’ is required”.

Thaks, regards,  
Stefano

That error message is poorly worded. What’s really happening there is the “Device Name” and 2 other fields aren’t filled out.

Just fill out all the fields before saving.

Hi Kevin,

ok i’ve set my post in the wrong way.

I know that before the save I have to fill all the field.

But if I have a filed named UnitID in the configuration, and the user save without fill out this field. What I want is a warning message like : “The field ‘UnidID’ is required” and NOT “The field ‘propertyValue’ is required”.

So my question is where I have to set the filed name or property value in order to have a warnin message like “The field ‘UnidID’ is required” and NOT "The field ‘propertyValue’ is required.

Thanks,  
Stefano

Ah, unfortunately that message can’t be changed right now…

I’ve added a bug ticket to give those messages a more appropriate name. Sorry about that.
