Inline Validation Problem.

Question

Hello,
I am having problems with a not null inline validation. The page is wizard created, that uses automatic dml. If the user clicks next and does not put anything in the required field, it will give the error. The problem comes after they put something in the field, it wants to update it to the database instead of inserting it. The pk on the page uses a default from the previous page. Can I use the inline validation and force the page to reload like it's new?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,
I can't test anything as I don't have an app login
Given what you have said and what I can see on your page, I think that you can do a couple of things:
1 - Make all the computations and the DML process conditional on "Request Contained Within Expression 1" and enter a comma delimited list (without any spaces) of the request names into Expression 1:
SAVE,CREATE,DELETE,etc2 - Create a process that runs "Before computations and validations" that is conditional on your text box being null. This should just change the request value:
BEGIN
APEX_APPLICATION.G_REQUEST := 'xxxx';
END;The validation would then kick in and produce the error message for the user. None of the computations will run and neither will the DML process as the new request value isn't in Expression 1
