Note This screen component requires [Lightning runtime](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_distribute_runtime.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Depending on how a flow is distributed, users see either the Classic runtime or Lightning runtime UI when they run the flow. Like its name suggests, Lightning runtime looks and feels like Lightning Experience.").

## Validate Input

Provide a formula that evaluates whether what the user entered is valid and the error message to display if invalid.

        <colgroup>

              <p>Provide a formula expression that returns a Boolean value.</p>
              <p>If the formula expression evaluates to <samp>true</samp>, the

              <p style="margin-bottom:0;">If the user leaves the field blank and the field isn’t required, the flow doesn’t
                perform the validation. If the user leaves the field blank and the field is
                required, the flow shows the default error message and not your custom error
                message.</p>
            </td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
