Form validation checkbox doesn't work - gbwebapps - 11-08-2020

Hello there.

I have a form with some checkboxes.
These checkboxes are not mandatory.

They work fine with is_exist rule.

This scenario works fine.

Checkboxes:

Code:
<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="users_permissions[]" value="add_brands">

<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="users_permissions[]" value="edit_brands">

<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="users_permissions[]" value="delete_brands">

Rules

Code:
'users_permissions[]' => [

 'label'  => 'Permissions',

 'rules'  => 'if_exist|alpha_dash'

]

When I send data, all is working fine.

But if I intentionally put a number as a checkbox value like this...

Code:
<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="users_permissions[]" value="1">

...having alpha_dash as a rule, I should receive an error which not occur.

The same if I upside down the situation like this:
Checkboxes

Code:
<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="users_permissions[]" value="add_brands">

Rules

Code:
'users_permissions[]' => [

 'label'  => 'Permissions',

 'rules'  => 'if_exist|Integer'

]

I don't get any error. The form is regularly sent.

Where am I wrong with checkboxes validation?

OK, I've just read a topic of yesterday and I read the guide in at this point:

Validating keys that are arrays

So, I'm trying this solution.:

Instead of

Code:
'users_permissions[]' => [

    'label'  => 'Permissions',

    'rules'  => 'if_exist|alpha_dash'

]

I put now this

Code:
'users_permissions.*' => [

    'label'  => 'Permissions',

    'rules'  => 'if_exist|alpha_dash'

]

But I don't get error messages anyway.
Some advices?
Thanks

Also tryng this way:

Code:
'users_permissions.*' => [

    'label'  => 'Permissions',

    'rules'  => 'if_exist|alpha_dash',

    'errors' => ['alpha_dash' => 'Error!!!']

]

Just a little piece of update.
I have this problem when I call getError(), for the single validation

This one doesn't return the array errors

Code:
$this->validator->getError('checkboxes')

This one returns the array errors

Code:
$this->validator->listErrors()
