Hi all,
I’ve been building a out a multi-step join/checkout flow and I’m liking the results. I used https://www.markusbodner.com/2019/05/31/multi-step-form-using-phoenix-live-view/ for inspiration.
The problem I’m having is with multiple fields on the same step, and validations called for all fields at the same time. Meaning that whenever name is starting to be filled them the error message for empty email shows up. I could solve it by having either field as a separate “step” but that would tend to annoy anyone filling out the form and doesn’t work well for things like addresses.
Gif here that probably shows much clearly than my words do: https://ibb.co/Nms7qHk since Im new user and cannot upload
I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it might be. Thanks for any help!

I’ll try to undelete the post when the action wait period is over.
