Why errors from custom validation constrain not attached to specific field by to the form?

Question

I have an ArticelPattern class which has $extraPatterns property. This property is an array of ExtraPattern (class) elements.

There is a custom constraint on the cla

Answer 1

Belongs to similar problem: use firstName in your entities and forms. Not first_name.

If your entity (User) has field like firstName, form builder accepts form_field (with underscore) field naming. It saves data correctly and so on. But if you would add some custom constraint to this field, be careful with underscore: don't use it. Use camelCaseFieldNames insted or you'll get errors attached to form, not to field.

Answer 2

You class constraint is probably being mapped to a form of form type, which has error_bubbling enabled by default. Setting this option to false should do what you're looking for.

$builder ->add('extraPatterns', 'collection', array(
    // ...
    'options' => array('error_bubbling' => false),
));
