Hello, I have an ajax form and I'd like to mark the fields red in case there's an error or a field doesn't pass form validation. How do I do this?

Regards,
Nick

There's not an easy way to do this because there is no CSS class or other targetable attribute applied to invalid fields in all cases (backend and frontend validation). The validation system and hooks will allow you to customize the error message shown in the form_messages field shortcode, but not the individual form element. Unfortunately that would require a level of customization that falls outside the scope of support we provide here in the forums.

Yes feel free to submit a ticket using the "Suggest an improvement" option in the forums. Unfortunately I can't switch the type of ticket here.
