Hi, I am trying to auto-populate an email field in an OKTA SPA using Jquery. Following code is auto populating the field, but I am getting error “This field cannot be left blank” on submit. Please help

$(‘input[name=“identifier”]’).val(“[abc.gmail.com](http://abc.gmail.com)”);  
$(‘input[name=“identifier”]’).attr(‘value’, “[abc.gmail.com](http://abc.gmail.com)”);  
$(‘input[name=“identifier”]’).trigger(“change”);

Hi @abhinash

Where are you seeing this message and where is this customisation created i.e. within Okta product, on your side?

Is this a Prod Okta org OR dev Okta org OR a trial Okta org you are using?

I would recommend opening a support case with our team, as we can then assist you better.
