validation_errors

Why the function validation_errors() in form helper does not work with In-Model Validation?

A Model has its own Validation instance. Because you can use many Models in a request.

For example,
If you have used two Models, there are two Validation instance.
validation_errors() checks the shared Validation instance by CI4 Services.
The shared Validation instance is a different instance from the Validation instances in the Models.

After all, there is no way that validation_errors() gets the Validation instance that you want to show the error.
