Summary
Required field validation is skipped when checklists are submitted via the quick-complete button.
Symptoms
- Technicians can mark a checklist as complete without filling in fields marked as Required
- Missing required field warnings do not appear
- Submission proceeds to Completed status without blocking
- Data integrity issues in downstream reports and exports
Affected Versions
FieldPulse 3.2.0 – 3.2.2
Platforms: iOS, Android, Web
Cause
The quick-complete button (Mark Complete) on the checklist header bypasses the validation logic that runs when submitting through the standard Save & Submit flow at the bottom of the form. The validation handler is not attached to the quick action's event listener.
Workaround
Disable the quick-complete button for affected checklist templates:
- Navigate to Settings > Forms & Checklists
- Select the template with required fields
- Toggle Allow Quick Complete to Off
- Save changes
Alternatively, train technicians to always scroll to the bottom of the checklist and tap Save & Submit instead of the header button.
Status
Fix targeted for 3.3
The validation handler will be unified across both submission paths in version 3.3. No action required from users once the update is applied.
