    {
      "action": "validate"
    },
    {
      "action": "runUtilityHook",
      "options": {
        "someKey": "myButtonParameter"
      }
    }
  ],
  "buttonClasses": "btn btn-info",
  "label": "",

## Running action Scripts when validation fails

Often you want to run actions when a validation fails. The `onFailed` key is perfect for this. Action sin the original script will stop and the `onFailed_actions` script will run. You can use this to do things like pre-save forms, show modals and more.
