validationMessages within createOptionsFrom not working as expected

Hi All, 
->createOptionForm([
    TextInput::make('name')
        ->label('Job Title')
        ->maxLength(255)
        ->required()
        ->validationMessages([
            'required' => 'A job title is required.',
            'max' => 'Job title cannot exceed 255 characters.'
        ]),
    TextInput::make('acronym')
        ->label('Acronym')
        ->nullable()
])
->createOptionForm([
    TextInput::make('name')
        ->label('Job Title')
        ->maxLength(255)
        ->required()
        ->validationMessages([
            'required' => 'A job title is required.',
            'max' => 'Job title cannot exceed 255 characters.'
        ]),
    TextInput::make('acronym')
        ->label('Acronym')
        ->nullable()
])
this produces the screenshot with orange ! icon, I'd expect it to show with red text like the other screenshot!? Any ideas? Cheers, Bot

@awcodes, We have managed to work this one out: ```php TextInput::make('name') ->label('Job Title')...

This is the default browser validation. If you do not want to use it then drop required() and maxLength() and apply them with rules()

@awcodes I'm chiming in as Bot's colleague... can you point to an example/resource of this for required so we can get an idea of implementation please?

@awcodes, We have managed to work this one out: 
TextInput::make('name')
  ->label('Job Title')
  ->rules(Rule::requiredIf(true)),
TextInput::make('name')
  ->label('Job Title')
  ->rules(Rule::requiredIf(true)),

when you use ->required() it also adds the 'required' attribute to the input, which will trigger browser validation. It's useful to prevent unnecesary requests to the server. ->rules() allows you to pass in a laravel validation rule set that will only get run when a request is made.

you can also do this like this: ->rules(['required', 'max:255']) 
->createOptionForm([
    TextInput::make('name')
        ->label('Employment Status')
        ->rules(['required', 'max:5'])
        ->validationMessages([
            'required' => 'Please select an employment status.',
            'max' => 'This cannot exceed.'
        ]),
])
->createOptionForm([
    TextInput::make('name')
        ->label('Employment Status')
        ->rules(['required', 'max:5'])
        ->validationMessages([
            'required' => 'Please select an employment status.',
            'max' => 'This cannot exceed.'
        ]),
])
