Although it won't be in the core until there's a consistent DBIC interface, there's nothing to stop you using it for now if you don't mind using non-cpan modules. > eval {$row->populate_from_formfu( $c->stash->{form} );}; > > and then check if $@ has the message "Duplicate entry ... for key > 'email'" > > how would I now set the error for the field 'email' in my form? or You'll need a constraint especially for that error - you could use a Callback, as that always passes if you don't provide a callback() routine - so it won't interfere in any way. e.g. --- elements: - name: email - constraints: type: Callback message: 'Email already taken' Then, after your test: if ( $@ =~ m/duplicate entry for key 'email'/i ) { $form->get_field('email')->get_constraint('Callback')->force_error(1); $form->process; # then redisplay the form as normal } You'll also need to update to svn version 426, as I've just fixed a bug with force_errors().
