UI should scroll to field when form validation fails

NetBox version

4.6.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When a request is denied in a form due to it breaking an internal or custom validation rule, it would be great if the UI would scroll down to the field where the validation breach occured.

Use case

As it is today, when a request is denied for a field far down in a form, the form reappears after submission for no apparent reason. Users are confused when their request is denied until they scroll down to see the reason. Inexperienced users might even think that their request was approved and their object was saved.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a vlan myvlan and at least two interfaces
• Click Interfaces in the sidebar
• Select a minimum of two interfaces
• Click Edit Selected to bring up interfaces bulk edit view
• In the form, under Untagged VLAN, select myvlan. Make sure to not select any 802.1Q Mode.
• Click Apply

After Apply is clicked the form returns for no apparent reason. Had the page scrolled down to display the Untagged VLAN field it would be more understandable that the request was denied and why.

Database changes

No database changes required, I would dare to guess.
