Possibility to reset form errors (_error) in redux-form 6.5.0

Are you submitting a bug report or a feature request?

If I understood the docs correctly, this is currently not possible. Thus a feature request.

What is the current behavior?

A form error can be set in onSubmit with

throw new SubmissionError({ _error: 'My form error message.' });

When changing a value or re-submitting the form, the form error does not disappear, and there does not seem to be a way to (only) remove the form error manually (e.g. in onSubmit).

What is the expected behavior?

It should be possible to remove/reset the form error message (_error).

What’s your environment?

redux-form 6.5.0

Hi. We have the same issue, but found that dispatching the stopSubmit action with an empty errors object will clear it:

import { stopSubmit } from 'redux-form';
dispatch(stopSubmit('myFormName', {}))

https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/blob/e9bcc1b54e211071f0cefc644c1ab7b2e93b9d78/src/__tests__/reducer.stopSubmit.spec.js#L291

If submission is being blocked by async validation errors, then one can clear them with the stopAsyncValidation action creator:

dispatch(stopAsyncValidation(FORM_NAME, { clear: true }));

Why the clear property? The reducer branch for the STOP_ASYNC_VALIDATION action will only clear errors associated with a form if the payload has at least one key. It would be great if this behaviour could be changed in a backwards-compatible manner, but admittedly the codebase on which I’m currently working uses async validation for cases in which submission validation would be more appropriate; I have no idea why…
