validate - custom text not displayed

Validate: (none)
Required: TRUE
Error Message: Required: Subject Contains the subject of the task. Maximum of 80 characters.

displays: “Please enter required field - Subject”

did I miss something ?

That is because:

The “Error message” is for validation. The error message for “Required” is another message - the “EnterRequiredField” phrase in the language file. If you want a specific message for that field, you can use Page_Load server event, e.g.

$this->MyField->RequiredErrorMessage = “Required: Subject Contains the subject of the task. Maximum of 80 characters.”;

thanks for the clarification!
