The default ErrorMessage component does not display errors until a user has "touched" the field, aka focused or un-focused the field. You can trigger this in code via setTouched() or setFieldTouched(fieldName, true). Calling submitForm will automatically set all fields touched.

Heya, This problem is related to #2345. I first of all thought it might be a bug because I expected the field to be touched when I manually call validateForm. I figured out that if you are using a multi-stage form then Formiik will have no real idea which fields to set as touched which makes sense as to why you have to call setTouched manually.

I suggest that something get added to the validation.md guide to alert users of this library that you will have to call setTouched manually on fields in this situation. I'll have a play to see if I can find a neat way to do it and then look to submit something to add this to the documentation.
