[BUG] When using zodValidator, even if I set a valid value with setFieldValue, canSubmit does not become true

[koki-iwaizumi]

Describe the bug

When using zodValidator, even if I set a valid value with setFieldValue, canSubmit does not become true

import { zodValidator } from '@tanstack/zod-form-adapter'
import { z } from 'zod'

// ...

const formSchema = z.object({
  age:   z.string().optional().refine((data) => data != null && data !== '' && !isNaN(Number(data))),
  ageSub:   z.string().optional().refine((data) => data != null && data !== '' && !isNaN(Number(data))),
})

const form = useForm({
  validatorAdapter: zodValidator(),
  validators: {
    onChange: formSchema
  },
})

const onChangeAge = (handleChange) => (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
  handleChange(event.target.value)
  form.setFieldValue('ageSub', event.target.value)  // The validation for ageSub is not being executed here.
}

return (
  <form>
      <form.Field name="age">
        {(field): React.ReactNode => {
          return (
            <Input
              type="number"
              onChange={(e): void => onChangeAge(field.handleChange)}
              value={field.state.value?.toString()}
            />
          )
        }}
    </form.Field>
    <form.Subscribe
      selector={(state): { isDisabled: boolean } => {
        return { isDisabled: state.isPristine || !state.canSubmit }
      }}
    >
      {({ isDisabled }): React.ReactNode => {
        return (
          <Button isDisabled={isDisabled} >
            submit
          </Button>
        )
      }}
    </form.Subscribe>
  </form>
)

In version 0.32.0, canSubmit became true with valid values (e.g., '5' or '6'), but in version 0.33.0, canSubmit remains false.

Expected behavior

I want validation to be executed when setFieldValue is called.

How often does this bug happen?

Every time

Additional context

If I execute validateField after every setFieldValue call, the validation runs and behaves as expected. However, this was not necessary in version 0.32.0. I would like to know if this behavior is intentional or a bug.

like this.

import { zodValidator } from '@tanstack/zod-form-adapter'
import { z } from 'zod'

// ...

const formSchema = z.object({
  age:   z.string().optional().refine((data) => data != null && data !== '' && !isNaN(Number(data))),
  ageSub:   z.string().optional().refine((data) => data != null && data !== '' && !isNaN(Number(data))),
})

const form = useForm({
  validatorAdapter: zodValidator(),
  validators: {
    onChange: formSchema
  },
})

const onChangeAge = (handleChange) => (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
  handleChange(event.target.value)
  form.setFieldValue('ageSub', event.target.value) 

  form.validateField('ageSub', 'change')  // Execute validation here.
}

return (
  <form>
      <form.Field name="age">
        {(field): React.ReactNode => {
          return (
            <Input
              type="number"
              onChange={(e): void => onChangeAge(field.handleChange)}
              value={field.state.value?.toString()}
            />
          )
        }}
    </form.Field>
    <form.Subscribe
      selector={(state): { isDisabled: boolean } => {
        return { isDisabled: state.isPristine || !state.canSubmit }
      }}
    >
      {({ isDisabled }): React.ReactNode => {
        return (
          <Button isDisabled={isDisabled} >
            submit
          </Button>
        )
      }}
    </form.Subscribe>
  </form>
)

I think the behavior change might be due to the changes introduced in #925 , but I'm not certain.

Adding another example, I think this is probably the same underlying issue.

https://stackblitz.com/edit/tanstack-form-gpfjb6?file=src%2Findex.tsx

In this example either (First and Last are required) or Company Name

Steps to replicate:

• load page
• press submit
• all errors should be shown
• fill out first and last name
• We would no expect all errors to disappear

I think I found the issue, anyone wants to give it a try on a PR?

The journey starts here:

form/packages/form-core/src/FormApi.ts

Line 735 in aaeb8db

if (fieldErrors) {

If the form validator has field errors they're spread into the fields, but if there are no (more) errors, nothing happens.
This means that if there are existing errors they're not removed and that's our bug.

Should be fixed on validateSync and validateAsync.

@mfrancis107 I'm trying to correct in your example. I have a question) should all 3 errors be shown until all fields are filled in?
