Automatic Configuration Validation

When configuring forms or standard action screens, the application will automatically validate updated configuration upon clicking the 'Publish' button. If there were no validation errors, configuration will be published and distributed to users. However, if there were some errors, the application will show the screen representing them and provide a user with the option to either go back and correct errors or consciously publish configuration changes 'as is'.

Publish with validation errors?

The same approach is used when navigating to preview of forms. A dialog displays detected validation errors with the options either to fix them or show the preview anyway.
