Wrong message showing in Laravel validation for multidimensional array

Question

I have this validation rules and i appended some custom messages for those validations.

 $this->validate($request, [
            'name'=>'required',
            'departments.*.name'=>'required',
            'departments.*.sections.*.name'=>'required',
        ],[
            'name.required'=>'The division name field is required.',
            'departments.*.name.required'=>'The department name field is required.',
            'departments.*.sections.*.name.required'=>'The section name field is required.',
        ]);

Screenshot of my view:

Here you can see, the empty section input field showing error message

"The department name field is required."

But it should be show

"The section name field is required."

What am i missing?

Note: i am printing the first index of all fields error messages

i am using vue component for this. all of my scripts are placed in vue component — Emtiaz Zahid

Its replacing the error messages from departments.*.sections.*.name.required

You should add child dimension errors before parent fields

try to use this:

 $this->validate($request, [
            'name'=>'required',
            'departments.*.name'=>'required',
            'departments.*.sections.*.name'=>'required',
        ],[
            'name.required'=>'The division name field is required.',
            'departments.*.sections.*.name.required'=>'The section name field is required.',
            'departments.*.name.required'=>'The department name field is required.',
        ]);

you can understand on your own by getting the validation error on dd(); example: $validatedData = $request->validate([ your validation rules ]); and then dd($validatedData); thanks

@ShaielndraGupta Kamrul has already explained see You should add child dimension errors before parent fields

check the last line and second last line. 2nd dimensional validation (sections.*) should be placed before 1st dimension validation error. If not then the validation message replaced with "The department name field is required."
