Required Validation Error Message Should Show Label

Create a new instance of a Kendo form with an item where the validation's required property is set to true. For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Example Form</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2021.2.616/styles/kendo.default-v2.min.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <form id="example"></form>
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2021.2.616/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2021.2.616/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      $(document).ready(function () {
        var validationSuccess = $("#validation-success");

        $("#example").kendoForm({
          formData: {
            FirstName: ''
          },
          layout: 'grid',
          grid: {
            cols: 2,
            gutter: 16
          },
          items: [
            {
              field: 'FirstName',
              label: 'First Name',
              validation: {
                required: true
              }
            }
          ]
        });
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

The feature request is to send the label value to the validator rather than the field value.

I understand that the required property can take an object, such as:

required: { message: 'First Name is required' }
While there is nothing wrong with this approach, it does require a duplication of effort which can become cumbersome.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestions.

Even if it sounds practical, we would need to decline it at first glance, due to the following:

If we include only the label, as a field sent to the validator - this would limit the usage only to the message being sent to the validator (please consider the case if someone doesn't even have a message(label) set for the component ). Also, this would cause duplication in the localization of the component.

Regards,
Nencho
