CF7 V5.6.2 breaks contact form required validation

Having installed a fresh website it is the combination of ContactForm7 and CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension that causes the problem. There are no PHP errors on the server logs.

Dear @antonv

I checked with the latest version 4.14.0 RC1 of the smart grid plugin and I confirm I can save submitted forms.

Can you update your setup and let me know if you are still facing issues?

I tested version of CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension 4.14.0beta3 on a very complicated form that makes use of nearly all functions provided by Post My CF7 Form together with numerous custom hooks and actions and it is working fine.

Thanks for your efforts!

PS above with Contactform7 5.6.3

replying to your query on the Smart Grid forum wrt to this plugin…

However, what I observe now is while the save button is pressed is that the “please fill out this field” message is displayed in one field and then cleared on the save button release.

ah! Now I better understand. You are trying to save a draft of a form.

Ok, I will check that.

I do not know if this is general or particular to my very complicated form with lots of custom code hooked into it. I will change some priorities of my hooks and actions

no I don’t think it is related to your custom code. CF7 plugin now introduces validation on the front-end (using js) based on the server validation rules.

I need to see how this impacts saving draft versions of forms.

I will test that and udpate this thread.

My forms are saving correctly now. It was on the very first test with beta2 it did not save, on all subsequent tests with beta3 it saved OK.

It is only while the save button is pressed down that the required messages are displayed, on release they disappear an the form is saved.

I checked with CF7 Smart Grid Design Extension 4.13 and it does exactly the same.

I consider this as a minor beauty issue and not a bug

I will try to see if I can find a way to fix this too on the post my form plugin.

Anyhow, thanks for your patience and help in testing. Much appreciated
