    Users may not know what the word "field" means (circled below). I was able to change the default error message, but "field" cannot be changed. I'd like the option to change it to "question" instead of field; if you need a default, I'd recommend something like "item" or just "there is an error." This should be for all modifiable error messages.

    Hi Sebeller,

    May we ask which field is that error shows up?

    Yes. I did that and made changes to the error messages. But what you can see from post, following the error msg is the phrase: "field has an error." I want to change the word "field" to the word "question" because users do not know what field means.

    Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to change the Accessibility warning "field has an error.". I will forward your request to our developers. However, please note that we can't provide you the exact time when or if will this be implemented. If there is any update, we will inform you here.
