Cascade Validation does not work #345

Closed rmed19 closed 4 years ago

rmed19 commented 4 years ago

Hi guys,

I have a form with an embed form on the second step. For the second step, the cascade validation does not work. to fix it I should force the validation_group to Default.

I did not understand why you force a new validation step and removing the Default one?

I create a PR #344 to add the validator default group.

Not using the Default validation group is intended by design. This won't change.

Using the Default group on an entity with a standalone form is fine because you expect the entity to be filled with all required data and to be completely valid at that point. But when using a flow to stepwise fill an entity with data, it probably won't be completely valid after the 1st step (out of e.g. 5). Thus, a different validation group is used for each step. The reason for not using the Default group as well is to not trigger validation constraints already defined for other purposes.

If you really want (or need) to set custom validation groups, take a look at https://github.com/craue/CraueFormFlowBundle#validation-groups.
