Breaking Changes

Validation result changes

Due to a bug fix, the Validation now might change the validation results when you validate an array item (see Changelog). So check the validation results for all the code that validates the array. Validating multiple fields like contacts.*.name is not affected.

If you have the following form:

<input type='text' name='invoice_rule[1]'>
<input type='text' name='invoice_rule[2]'>

And you have the validation rule like this:

'invoice_rule' =>  ['rules' => 'numeric', 'errors' => ['numeric' => 'Not numeric']]

Change the rule key to invoice_rule.* and the validation will work.
