App Studio update table using Rest Services

[jbooker (Josh Booker)]

great nuanced description of client-side mods, Jose. Thanks!

@josecgomez

Client side validation that is purely UX

• basic format checks (empty, numeric, length, pattern)
• friendly messages before a save attempt
• preventing obvious bad input early

So wish this was a thing in kinetic. rules and events should be merged and true client-side validation rethought from the ground up.

@jbooker

Can we at least agree that AppStudio Rules & Events could rather easily be improved for easy screen/field validation to save server trips? Like in rules I can set the style to Warning which makes a control yellow, but I can’t easily display a meaningful warning before save(?) And I can do condition > condition > condition on BeforeUpdate event to check for required fields, but this has no connection to rules(?)

Imagine if there was a validation errors collection that rules can write to and the built-in BeforeUpdate event surfaced those and cancelled the save. Server data rules come down to client by default, user defined rules if you want to, oh and, function rules should allow javascript.
