Doc Text:
Previously, when trying to save a virtual machine editing window in the User Portal with validation errors, users cannot see the error message and would try to save it with a failed attempt. The error message was only available if the user clicked on 'Show Advanced Options'. With this update, users can now see the advanced options and the error message when attempting to save with validation errors.

Comment 3 Omer Frenkel 2014-04-09 07:41:47 UTC 
Tomas, is it possible to jump to place of error in the dialog when clicking ok?
Comment 4 Tomas Jelinek 2014-04-10 06:57:51 UTC 
@Omer - well, it is not that simple - where shell I jump if there where errors on more places? Especially if some are visible in basic context and some in advanced only? Also, the user could be a bit confused if after clicking ok he would end up in a totally different part of the same dialog.

A simpler solution would be to do this:
- you have the basic options shown only and have a validation error
- click ok
- if all the errors are only on fields which are visible in basic mode only, than do nothing
- if at least one error is visible in advanced mode, than show the advanced options (so the validation error place will be visible)

Would this be acceptable?
