Set Default Required Validator in Custom form element
You can override the mehod SetDefaultValues and set value for Validator property which should be RequireValidator. Something looks like:
public override void SetDefaultValues(ContentType contentType)
{
base.SetDefaultValues(contentType);
Validators = typeof(RequiredValidator).FullName;
}

I tried this:
public override void SetDefaultValues(ContentType contentType)
{
base.SetDefaultValues(contentType);
Label = "First Name";
PlaceHolder = "John";
this.Validators = typeof(RequiredValidator).FullName;
this.Validators = typeof(EmailValidator).FullName;
}
But it picks the last one, not both.

this.Validators = typeof(RequiredValidator).FullName;
this.Validators = typeof(EmailValidator).FullName;
}
But it picks the last one, not both.

You need to concat values into a string: this.Validators = string.Concat(typeof(RequiredValidator).FullName, EPiServer.Forms.Constants.RecordSeparator, typeof(EmailValidator).FullName);

Dac - This is pretty much what I'm trying to do, but I'm trying to fill in a custom regex value. I can use typeof(RegularExpressionValidator).FullName to get the checkbox filled, and I'm pretty sure you are supposed to use RegularExpressionAttribute to set the value of the regex, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any advice?

Hi Team,
Is there a way to set the Custom form element required validator to true, so that it will not be necessary for the user to set it fom the CMS everytime they add.
I have created a custom form element inheriting from TextBlockElementBlock. During SetDefaultValues i want to set the Required validator to true as default, but not sure how to do that.
