What’s changing

Starting today, Workspace add-ons and Chat app developers can add client-side input validation to Chat apps and add-ons.

Specifically, the card UI now supports required form field validation on the date-time picker, the multi select menu, the drop down menu and text input widgets via the Action API for add-ons and Chat apps. Additionally, text inputs now support input type and format validation with input length limits via the Validation API for add-ons and Chat apps.

As a result, developers can ensure data accuracy and improve their app's user experience by catching errors before information is submitted.
