Error Message Tool with Multiple containers in App

Hi, I have multiple containers each container will be enabled if you click on the respected checkbox of that container in App.  Each checkbox has textbox also.

My question is i want to use error message tool along with textbox, i am able to use it but that error message tool has to be enabled only if i click on respected checkbox(container) not for every checkboxes.

It depends what you are trying to test @VijayAnaparthi if you would like to test the data in flow within each container I would recommend a TEST tool, (or a message tool depending on what you are trying to achieve) which can be set to support and if you check the box in configuration to "cancel running workflow on error" then it also helps. Interface tools cannot reside within disabled tool containers as they are designed to be the interaction between the user and the workflow. Therefore must be enabled to allow that.

Hello, could you please share your solution here? i've got the same problem, i still want to use error message tool in container and let it show only when container is enabled. That would be very thankful!

Oh, never mind, Error message accepts many input, so i only need one more condition for error message expression. It's solved by myself.
