Parsley custom error message doesn't work

Question

I have the following input field:

<input id="name" name="real_name" type="text" placeholder="ie. Your full name or company name" class="form-control input-lg parsley-validated"
   data-required="true" parsley-error-message="Please insert your name" >

However, when I press my submit button, I only get the standard This value is required. message.

Can anyone tell me why?

Forgive my unfamiliarity with parsley.js, but what is the expected output? Is this happening even if you submit valid input? — joadha, Jan 27 '14 at 22:25

Try

data-parsley-required-message="Please insert your name"

Or "data-parsley-error-message" for a generalized response. – maxhs Sep 29 '14 at 16:43
Still doesn't work, always "Please fill out this field" – Pop-A-Stash Jan 28 '15 at 00:58
I think they must have changed the property name or something. This one worked for me with version 2.3.3. – Jeroen Pelgrims Feb 18 '16 at 11:04

If you're on later versions, this is the ticket. – benmccallum Oct 25 '16 at 00:09
Works for version 2.8.1 – P-S Oct 14 '18 at 08:50
Thanks, this is indeed the correct version now. Reference: https://parsleyjs.org/doc/#ui-for-field – Peter Gordon Nov 08 '19 at 12:02

Try this attribute instead of parsley-error-message:

data-parsley-required-message="Please insert your name"

It's not a custom error message for custom validator. You need to override the default 'required' error message with your one.

could you look at my Ajax question aswell? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21391978/parsley-ajax-sending-post-variables – Marc Rasmussen Jan 28 '14 at 13:08
is `data-parsley-error-message="my message"` only for custom validation ? The documentation says: `Customize a unique global message for the field.` I toought it was working like @MarcRasmussen said. (i have a local and remote validation for VAT validation and the error message is the same) – Leto Jan 06 '15 at 14:05

@Leto: I tried `data-parsley-error-message` and it works for all error messages for that field. It just becomes the error message for *any* error in that field. – nils Oct 07 '15 at 06:44
doesn't work for me i using `bootstrap 4` and `parsley 2.9.1` – sanoj lawrence Jul 17 '19 at 04:00

For more recent versions: `data-parsley-required-message` – John Jul 31 '20 at 21:20
I have required and a custom validation for a field but it is taking data-parsley-error-message for both this didn't help me – gangothri Sep 04 '20 at 07:33

For required field validation :

data-parsley-required-message="Please enter name"

For input pattern validation :

data-parsley-pattern-message="Please enter valid name"

In short change third word with your validation type.
