Multiple pages validations before form submitting - scheming 3.0.0

[Mohab25]

Hi, i'm updating to ckanext-scheming version 3.0.0 to have the new feature of splitting form to multiple pages , now after clicking next on the first page which i assume takes to the next page, i get a Validation error for one of the required fields of the next page, which i suppose means the form is submitted as a whole before the next page fields are filled,
is this the expected behavior?, how to get the validation only on the current page fields ?

here is a yaml sample:

dataset_fields:

  - start_form_page:
      title: Detailed Metadata
      description:
        These fields improve search and give users important links


    field_name: title
    label: Title
    required: true
  
  - field_name: description
    label: Description
    required: true
  
  - field_name: owner_org
    label: Responsible Organisation Name
    required: true
    preset: dataset_organization
    help_text: Organisation responsible for the metadata record.

  - start_form_page:
      title: Identification
      description:
        These fields improve search and give users important links

    field_name: notes
    label: Abstract
    required: true
    form_snippet: markdown.html
    form_placeholder: eg. Some useful notes about the data
    help_text: Brief narrative summary of the content of the resource.

  - field_name: doi
    label: DOI
    required: false
    help_text: Digital Object Identifier of the metadata record (if any)
    validators: doi_validator

thx,

Yes each page does submit the data back to ckan so the validation for all metadata fields needs to pass.

You can either move all required fields to the first page or use a custom required validator for your fields that depends on the page being submitted or the state being set to 'active' (so that it applies to normal API calls too)

A custom validator like this would be useful for other people in your situation, if you go this route consider submitting it for inclusion in ckanext-scheming so that it can be used automatically.
