Hi
I want to force validation to trigger even if user hasn't clicked on the field or otherwise acted on the form which would trigger validation.
I tried using different methods such as valid and validate but they always return true since validation won't check for fields that haven't been activated or in other words changed or focused.
This functionality is to disallow jumping between form steps/tabs or to continue to next step until user has given proper information on current tab.
