Using essentially example #2 here ([https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform\_validation/](https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_validation/)) I’m sending a webhook using the form submissions and checking the response, which is working pretty well.
Problem is, the response I get from the webhook validates some of the fields (checks for bogus domains and location information), but it really just returns a generic string that isn’t structured in a way I could attach it easily to a field.
We’re attaching the validation\_message to the $field based on its id, but could we possibly attach it to the validation\_error div at the top of the form?
