Description

Can we have a common validation that every field validates with. This should work even in case of nested objects.

Eg: Object is as follows: { field1: "", field2: { field2A: [] field2B: "" }, field3: {[ field3Ai: [] field3Bi: "" ], [ field3Aii: [] field3Bii: "" ]} }

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Formik's validation system to add a global validation function that applies to all fields recursively, including nested objects. Study the current validation logic and propose a solution using validate or validationSchema with a custom wrapper.
