[CON: Mentee Profile Page]: Add a validation message that makes it clear that all mandatory fields must be filled in

[ligiamxm]

Context/background

One of the action points of the user tests conducted in December 2022 is to make sure that the users cannot complete the saving action without filling in all the required fields.

Why are we doing this?

Even if we have the required/optional fields marked, it's possible that users end up trying to save their input without filling in all the mandatory fields. We should add a validation message to clarify that.

What needs to be done?

We need to add a clear validation message for the users trying to save without filling in all the required fields.

• Check how other validation messages are displayed on the mentee profile page and take them into consideration for creating a compatible solution
• Investigate how to display the validation message (for ex: as a text inside the section or as a modal/pop-up).
• Add a validation message that states clearly that the user cannot complete the saving action without filling in all the required fields
• Present the design in one of the bi-weekly meetings to get feedback
• Iterate on the design and paste the finished design file into this ticket

We changed the approach. Instead of pointing out the mandatory fields we are clarifying which ones are optional.

@katamatata, since we changed the approach – instead of pointing out the mandatory fields we are clarifying which ones are optional –, I think we can archive this ticket.

We opted for optional fields instead (see the design file in ticket #672).
