==================
Hello, 

I’m looking for suggestions to hide all the default validation tips. 

 Joffm suggested using CSS to hide the default validation text in this thread ( Question Validation Warning Messages Text Location ). However, I’m unsure about the exact code to use. I also tried using the "hide tip" option under the display settings, but the issue persisted. 

I want to replace all default validation text with: “Please enter a number for each area. The number must add up to a total of 12.” 

I attempted to follow the steps suggested by DennisChenu in this thread ( Modifying Validation/Error Text Alerts/Helper Text ), but I was unsuccessful. Here are the steps I followed: 

1. Hide the default validation text in custom.css: .question-container.numeric .ls-em-tip.em_default { display: none; } 
2. Set the validation condition to:  sum(self.NAOK) == 12 
3. Add the custom validation message in the "Question Valid Tip" container: “Please enter a number for each area. The number must add up to a total of 12.” 

I’m also attaching a sample for reference. I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this issue.
