Problem/Motivation

Hi,

I have tested on many forms and it validates only plain fields, but if the field has ckeditor, it does not
validate it. Is this intended or some bug?

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Hi,
This behavior is expected because CKEditor replaces the with a rich text editor. Clientside Validation attaches validation to standard HTML form fields, but it does not automatically detect the content inside CKEditor.

To validate CKEditor fields, additional integration is needed to sync the editor content with the underlying textarea before validation. There are some discussions and patches for this, but out-of-the-box, CKEditor fields are not validated.

So it’s not a bug, but a known limitation.
