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.

Hi,
when I run this question I see this
 
Well, all these - blue - messages  are forced by your settings
 
 

All are not necessary because you use your own validation "sum(self.NAOK)==12"
With only this you see
 

Of course you get this initial error (the sum is not equal 12)
 

Another option:
Enter your text into the help text
Hide the "question-valid-container" set "max. sum value -> 12", "min. sum value -> 12"
to get this
 

You see I added a "linefeed" into the message.

BTW:
If there are further conditions or settings in your question, either remove them or provide this question, too.
I refer to thre array filter

Thanks, Joffm!  I'll do your first suggestion.
