setValid(validFlag, message)

Arguments
  • validFlag: Whether the control’s value is valid.
  • message: A message to display (usually in the case of an error.
Effect

This is a convenience function that is typically called when the control’s parent form is processing a standard Erstwhile response from a Create, Update, or Delete endpoint. If implemented, it will automatically display a control-specific error message within the control to help users fix their data, or clear the error message if the input is valid.
