Errorsummary link text equals field error
errorsummary-link-text-equals-field-error
ErrorSummary link text = the field’s error text — same wording in both places so either context still reads.
Description
Suomi.fi ErrorSummary links must use the same wording as the field’s error text so either context still reads clearly. Replacing the error with only the field label, or rewriting the summary in different words, breaks that parallel recognition. Keep the strings identical so users spot the same problem at the summary and beside the field without translating between two phrasings.
When to use
Wiring submit-time ErrorSummary links back to invalid fields.
Not when
Success summaries, toast confirmations, or summaries that only repeat field labels.
Agent hint
Match ErrorSummary link text to each field’s error wording exactly.
Each ErrorSummary link uses the same wording as that field’s error text.
Summary link wording differs from the field error (e.g. only the field label in the summary).
