I have an schema with embeds_many :features, Feature, on_replace: :delete. The Feature struct has a number of fields, many of which get validated. One is dims. But this problem arises for all of them – I can see there are validation errors, but they are nested multiple layers down. And so never show up on the web page form. I don’t understand it…
My form uses:
<.inputs_for :let={f} field={@form[:features]}>
I put a dbg() check directly in the input core component:
def input(assigns) do
if assigns.id == "request_features_0_dims" do
assigns |> dbg()
end
And this is what I get:
assigns #=> %{
id: "request_features_0_dims",
label: nil,
name: "quote[features][0][dims]",
type: "text",
value: "0.1x",
prompt: nil,
field: nil,
errors: [],
rest: %{},
__changed__: nil,
__given__: %{
id: "request_features_0_dims",
label: nil,
name: "quote[features][0][dims]",
type: "text",
value: "0.1x",
prompt: nil,
field: nil,
errors: [],
rest: %{},
__changed__: nil,
__given__: %{

}
Notice the error in the deep nesting __given__.__given__.field.form.source.errors. Why is there all this nesting? Why isn’t it just in errors at the top leve so it will should up on the form?
