I have a form that I use to add users to an organization, that looks like this:

The problem:
Clicking on the Add User button takes a few milliseconds (~500ms) before the input fields are displayed, and the delay compounds as I add more users. Note that clicking that button sends a validate event to the server.
Checking the server logs, validation happens for all of the already filled fields. I’m not sure if that’s expected, or I’m doing something wrong in the code. It feels redundant to re-validate all the fields; I expect validation to happen only for the field in focus, but maybe it’s how inputs_for/1 works.

This is my changeset function:

 def invite_changeset(organization, attrs) do
    organization
    |> cast(attrs, [])
    |> cast_assoc(:users,
      with: &User.invitation_changeset/2,
      sort_param: :users_sort,
      drop_param: :users_drop
    )
  end

What I have tried so far:
I am preloading :users that cast_assoc/3 is using. I have tried not running validations untill the form is submitted, but that doesn’t work with inputs_for/1; the form is not being rendered when I click on Add User button on the UI. Also tried providing a changeset that has no validations (just casting) when validating, but the delay is still there, even though cast_assoc/3 does no validation, just casting the params.

The question:
Honestly, I am not entirely sure what the cause of the delay is, but I suspect it is the changeset validation. How can I fix this delay?

That’s how changesets work. They compare the base state with the complete set of changes in the form. There is no partial validation as changesets do not support any partial delivery of changes nor revalidation (as in removing errors) of already validated fields.

Additionally inputs_for is not granularly change tracked like individual root level inputs. This is a known limitation of how inputs_for is implemented.

Turns out the delay was being caused by a password hashing step, done by Bcrypt. Skipping it during form validation, and only running it during form submission solved the issue.
