    Hi I am using the latest version of Contact Form 7 plugin in which we are facing issues for validate the required form fields.

    The exactly issue is that : in the form, lets say, all the fields are required ( Radio buttons / select boxes and textboxes as well ), so when I select the any radio button or select boxes, the other form validations are triggered automatically.

    It seem that the same issue in your URL as below.

    Can we do like trigger the validation only click on the Submit button like it works in previous version of CF7 ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Why do you think it is an issue?

    Hi,

    first of all thanks for your great plugin!

    But I find it an issue as well that all other formfields are validated before clicking at the submit button. It’s just not common that you get validation error messages on all required fields just because you selected a radio button somewhere in the form. It just looks “ugly” to get plenty of red notices suddenly.

    I’m using your plugin since years now and never faced that behavior – maybe I didn’t use radio buttons that much?

    Edit:
    Forgot to mention this: one radio is selected by default (in my case) so basically there is no need to fire a validation on change because you can’t deselect radio buttons – so why is the validation even of all other formfields triggered when just changing the radio selection? Maybe I’m just thinking wrong?
