Custom validation message for specific field in gravity form not working

1. Here’s a snippet that should fix your issue. I just ran into this myself and didn’t understand why it wasn’t working. Just drop it into your theme functions.php file.

   <?php
   
   add_filter( 'gform_field_validation', 'mytheme_fix_custom_validation', 10, 4 );
   
   /**
    * Fixes Gravity Forms Custom validation message.
    *
    * @param array  $result  The result array.
    * @param string $value   The value of the field.
    * @param array  $form    The Gravity Form array.
    * @param object $field   The form field object.
    *
    * @return array  The result array.
    */
   function mytheme_fix_custom_validation( $result, $value, $form, $field ) {
       if ( ! $result['is_valid'] && ! empty( $field->errorMessage ) ) {
           $result['message'] = $field->errorMessage;
       }
       return $result;
   }
   

   Here’s a gist in case it ever changes:

   It uses the filter documented here:
