Common Validation Request Issues

By understanding the common issues that arise with validation requests, you can more easily recognize and correct them.
Diagnosing Validation Request Issues
When a validation request fails, the best way to diagnose the problem is to check the form data for inconsistencies or errors. Begin by examining the fields and inputs for accuracy and completeness.
Check for:
- Incorrect inputs, such as an e-mail address written as ‘name@domaina' instead of ‘[email protected]’
- Missing required fields
- Incorrect data types
Fixing the Validation Request Errors
Once the errors have been identified, it is time to fix them. Depending on the kind of errors that were found, the steps to take in order to fix the issue will differ.
If the error was due to an incorrect input, simply correct the mistake and rerun the validation request.
If the issue was due to a missing field, be sure to fill out the required field before running the request.
If the issue was due to an incorrect data type, determine the correct data type for the specific field and input it before running the request.
Once all the errors have been corrected, re-run the validation request and confirm that it was successful.
