I can't validate form with multi array names

[maciekwyka]

Subject of the issue

I have form where user can dynamically add or remove rows, names of input files is for example "colorkeeper_project[rooms_attributes][][surfaces_attributes][][name]"
I have no idea how to deal with it, when I make rule for "colorkeeper_project[rooms_attributes][][surfaces_attributes][][name]" only the first row is validating.

Your environment

• version of jquery-validate: 1.16.0
• which browser and its version: Safari 13.0.4

Hi, I was having this same issue, I came accross this
http://www.codeboss.in/web-funda/2009/05/27/jquery-validation-for-array-of-input-elements/
Works nicely

Using jquery validate 1.19.1 and modifying the jquery.validate.js file on line 465, replacing with this function should be fine.

checkForm: function() { this.prepareForm(); for ( var i = 0, elements = (this.currentElements = this.elements()); elements[i]; i++ ) { var checkingElements = this.findByName( elements[i].name ).not(this.settings.ignore); if (checkingElements.length !== undefined && checkingElements.length > 1) { for (var cnt = 0; cnt < checkingElements.length; cnt++) { this.check( checkingElements[cnt] ); } } else { this.check( elements[i] ); } } return this.valid(); },

I hope to be of help ;)
