richValue in Validate

Hi,
setting the value does not work in the "Validate" event. I have the field set correctly to richText, but even when I use event.richValue or event.target.richValue, the text still does not appear in the field. On Mouse events event.target.richValue works normally.
Here is my code:

// inputed in Validate
span1 = {text: "Hi, There!"};
event.richValue = [span1];

To apply a value you should use the Calculate event.

I don't want to use Calculate, I want Validate.

Specifically, it doesn't work to insert a value if the field is empty.

if(event.richValue.length===0){
	span1 = {text: "Hi, There!"};
	event.richValue = [span1]
};

Here is my code:
