API: Ability to get Validation messages when sending the submission using API

    If i post a form submission via the API, I dont get any validation messages at all.

    When submitting it from the UI i get 'invalid email' and 'required' messages and the form is not submitted.

    But if i use the api to submit a form submission, i always get a success message, even if no data is provided. Then i see the submission in the UI telling me there are no answers to show.

    Is it possible to get validation messages via the api?

    I assume that the API pushes the data directly to the database while the required option is applicable to the form only. I am able to replicate the issue at my end using a test form. Let me forward the thread to our backend team as a feature request for evaluation. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any ETA at this moment. However, if there is any news you'll be updated here on this thread. 


    Thanks!

    Thank you for the fast reply.
    So for the moment we would have to build our own interface between jotform and the frontend to add form validation.
    I will check back here from time to time.


    Thank you and cheers!
