So just don't specify a value. > $rule[0][1] = array('Please provide the comment!', 'required'); > $form->addGroupRule($el->getName(),$rule); You MUST give your group a name. Do $form->addGroup($group, 'groupname', 'Comment'); and $form->addGroupRule('groupname', $rule); But I don't see why you use a group in that case. Groups are here for logical reasons, not for presentation or layout reasons.. You can have a look at the different examples in the docs/ directory. Example7 deals with grouped elements.
