I have a custom form and custom model where I have form controls added in the template, bindings assigned in the view and the validation object in my model.
Outside of setting up a form submit, I cannot get validation to occur prior to submitting the form.
Any thoughts?

As for the validation itself, I'm a bit confused about what's going on exactly. Are you saying you have an entirely separate form with its own model and service that you want to submit at the exact same time using the same submit button?

03/11/2021, 3:35 PMIf you're operating an entirely separate form then I would make sure you're using a form view class, for example, because they are have inner works to tie form submit to validation

03/11/2021, 4:59 PMHey @Steve Goldberg, thanks for the input! We’ve extended the addToCart functionality and are collecting custom data regarding the item being added. We’ve got a form rendering as a modal to capture the input.
Turns out the customization is referencing the product model as opposed to the custom model. I was able to get validation messages populating prior to the form being submit.
