this.field(name).value returns undefined in 2.3.3

Just upgraded to 2.3.3 and noticed that custom validation is suddenly not working anymore. Seems that this.field(name).value in custom validation always returns undefined. Here’s my code

    new SimpleSchema(
      currentPassword:
        type: String
        min: 4
        instructions: 'Current password'
        label: 'Current password'
      newPassword:
        type: String
        min: 4
        label: 'New password'        
      confirmPassword:
        type: String
        min: 4
        label: 'Confirm new password'   
        custom: ->
          if @value != @field('newPassword').value 
            return "passwordMismatch"

@field(‘newPassword’).value returns undefined. Before latest verion this was working just fine

Here’s a sample app, which is a slice of a larger app I’m currently working on, where we’re having this issue. https://github.com/jakobloekke/simple-schema-issue-340-repro/tree/master https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7GXF5eMGOk (There’s a little bit of erratic clicking in the video, but I hope the point comes across).

In short, we have an account url (‘slug’) which is auto generated from an AccountName field. This works on inserts but not on updates, causing the value to become empty.

From the documentation I am unsure if this is expected behaviour. But it feels like a bug to us. 😃
