Hello,
I am creating a custom contact form but am looking for some assistance with making fields required before submitting. Here is one of my lines of code.
I am researching but cannot find the best way to make this field required. I have tried aria-required=“true” in many places but have not solved my problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi @breadwinner ,
You have to just put required word on the input and set the form as validate. The input must be inside the form for it to work
That doesn’t seem to be working. Any other suggestions?

Can you please describe what setting the form as validate means? Thanks again!
Hi @breadwinner ,
You can refer to documentation here. If you are using the liquid form (see example code below), make sure to remove the novalidate: ‘novalidate’, if just an html form, I do not think you need to do something unless there is a script running to do novalidate
{%- form 'product', product, id: product_form_id, class: 'form', novalidate: 'novalidate', data-type: 'add-to-cart-form' -%}
Do not see validate on this liquid form. Here is the whole page code
{{ ‘section-contact-form.css’ | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- style -%}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

I am looking to make these fields required: Name, Email, Phone Number. And for them to give an error message if not correctly filled in. Thanks again
Hi @breadwinner ,
Yes, the form should validate. Please replace your code with the code below. I made changes to make it required
{{ 'section-contact-form.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- style -%}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}
{%- if section.settings.heading != blank -%}
## {{ section.settings.heading | escape }}
{%- else -%}
## {{ 'templates.contact.form.title' | t }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- form 'contact', id: 'ContactForm', class: 'isolate' -%}
{%- if form.posted_successfully? -%}
## {% render 'icon-success' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.post_success' | t }}
{%- elsif form.errors -%}
## {% render 'icon-error' %} {{ 'templates.contact.form.error_heading' | t }}
- {{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%}
<small>
{{ 'accessibility.error' | t }}
{% render 'icon-error' %}{{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }}
</small>
{%- endif -%}
{%- endform -%}
