Problem
Using a text component and modifying the "Required Error Message" field, if failure occurs, it does not show the required text on the Webform. Additionally, there is a javascript error on the Webform when loading the project in a browser.
Environment
Workflow Solution 6.5 and 7.0
Cause
The text entered in this field contained an invalid character such as a single quote. These items are not supported with the javascript alert method used for the Form popup box.
Solution
Working as designed.
You may remove the single quotes, or escape the quotes using a backslash (\).
For example the following text will format the quotes correctly for the alert message:
You\'ve missed a required field \'text input\'.
