Local fix

Problem summary

  • The validation on the table was removed with interim fix JR56592
    because
    -If there are 50 cells in a table, each having a validation
    error, 50 validation errors would show below the table, which
    would be too a long list.
    -The table being only a container, it's not necessary to have
    validation errors to display at the table level; they should
    just be isolated to the cells.
    
    We did not consider the use case highlighted in this APAR
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12
    that re-establishes the capability to display validation markers
    on the Table, not only the cells within it.
