Usage in Formatting Templates

Due to the complex nature of this feature and its reliance on automation, it generally assumes you're automating the render (rather than manually hardcoding each field, etc). All of the Solspace demo templates and sample default formatting templates include this already (and work out of the box), but if you're customizing a formatting template, be sure that {{ field.rulesHtmlData }} is on the div wrapper for each field inside of {% for field in row %}. For example:

{{ form.renderTag({rowClass: "sample-row-class"}) }}

{% if form.hasErrors %}
  <div class="freeform-form-has-errors">
    {{ "Error! Please review the form and try submitting again."|t('freeform') }}

    {% if form.errors|length %}
      <ul>
        {% for error in form.errors %}
          <li>{{ error }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
      </ul>
    {% endif %}
  </div>
{% endif %}

{% for row in form %}
  <div class="{{ form.customAttributes.rowClass }}">
    {% for field in row %}
      {% set columnClass = "sample-column " ~ form.customAttributes.columnClass %}
      {% if field.type == "submit" %}
        {% set columnClass = columnClass ~ " submit-column" %}
      {% endif %}

      <div class="{{ columnClass }}"{{ field.rulesHtmlData }}>
        {{ field.render({
          class: field.type != "submit" ? "freeform-input" : "",
          labelClass: "sample-label" ~ (field.required ? " required" : ""),
          errorClass: "sample-errors",
          instructionsClass: "sample-instructions",
        }) }}
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endfor %}

{{ form.renderClosingTag }}
