Cannot get custom Validation Message for Select Component to work

I have the following Select component with the required validation.

Select::make('existing_kids')
    ->label('Select existing family members who will attending this event')
    ->required(function (Get $get) {
        return count($get('add_new_kids')) === 0;
    })
    ->validationMessages([
        'required' => 'You will need to select at least one family member to attend this event. If you don\'t have any existing family members, please add a new family member below.',
    ])
    ->multiple()

Select::make('existing_kids')
    ->label('Select existing family members who will attending this event')
    ->required(function (Get $get) {
        return count($get('add_new_kids')) === 0;
    })
    ->validationMessages([
        'required' => 'You will need to select at least one family member to attend this event. If you don\'t have any existing family members, please add a new family member below.',
    ])
    ->multiple()

It does validate correctly, but the custom validation doesn't show. Here is what it shows. I have the same issue with other components also not showing custom validation messages.

Solution:

$this->form->getState() will validate the form

Am I missing anything? I tried to use native() as well and doesn't work with that as well.

are you using a statePath? provide more info or the whole code..

Just tested with the demo, so it's not a bug in Filament:

ok, so, I am using Filament Forms as standalone and not within the Admin Panel. I have setup all the form elements inside the form(Form $form) method with the necessary validations for each form element. On form submission, when I call the $this->validate(), it doesn't seem to use the custom message I have setup for each element, but does the normal validation message configured on the lang file. I don't have a statePath setup

$this->form->getState() actually

Dennis Koch•7mo ago

Share your code. There shouldn't be a $this->validate()

Did you follow the docs? They don't mention validate() anywhere: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/adding-a-form-to-a-livewire-component

Yes, I followed the documentation. how do I go about validating the form on form submission? if I don't use $this->validate() it doesn't seem to validate. ah ok, let me check that ok, now that works, thank you very much.
