Validate all fields on a field update

[Ansalibrahim]

I am trying to implement a form with a field array, the array does have multiple fields. I need to check whether a field value repeats. Unfortunately, only current focus field validation is triggered when the data is updated. I have to show the error like "value is repeated" in all the fields.

Is there a way to do this with react-hook-form?

Here is a minimalistic sample if you want to check https://codesandbox.io/s/react-hook-form-usefieldarray-forked-uwuu9?file=/src/index.js

In the example, the append will add a new row. change the first name in the second row to Bill. while typing the field will be validated and shows the error "Repeated".

I need to show the error on every row which is repeated. In this case, I need to show the error "Repeated" in both rows.

onChange with trigger()?

It seems like trigger has no impact.

The issue is resolved by using trigger(). The sample app I created doesn't work with trigger() for some reason.

Thank you @bluebill1049 for the help and timely response :-)
