A way to keep backend errors with client validation

Here is a simple form with errors example:

name - no error
surname - no error

When I submit form, I receive backend errors: { surname: 'Exists' }. So, I set field errors and now they are:

name - no error
surname - 'Exists'

Now, if I change or blur the value of the name field, the whole form validation will be triggered and backend error will be erased for surname field.

How is it possible to erase field’s backend error only if the value of that field was changed?

I can think of possible solution with using form’s status to save backend errors, checking the field’s previous/new value, but it feels like a really big hack.

workaround ≠ solution This is a rather really common use case and I think Formik could solve this in a much neater way. I think this issue should be reopened.

yep, instead of fixing/adding things let’s just close issues like nothing happened. not even surprised to see this bot here 😄
