Fixes https://github.com/Strategy11/formidable-pro/issues/6392

You can replicate this by going to the custom HTML for a required field, and replacing the error HTML with something like this:

[if error]<div>[error]</div>[/if error]

Where there is no identifying class or ID on the div anymore, which is where the JS was falling short.

Now every top level element is given data-frm-error so we have something that doesn't change styling at all but is still identifiable as error content.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved form error handling for custom error markup.
    • Errors without the standard error class or ID can now be correctly identified, removed, and focused.
    • Error messages inserted into forms are consistently marked for reliable management.

The form error flow now tags inserted error elements with data-frm-error. Removal, bulk clearing, and focus logic also locate errors through this attribute.

Custom multi-root error templates can leave stale messages visible after field revalidation. The impact is localized, but the cleanup fix should be applied.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove all tagged errors during field revalidation.

insertErrorHtml tags every top-level element in custom error markup. validateField calls removeFieldError directly, and querySelector removes only the first tagged element. The remaining elements can stay visible and remain eligible for error focus. The separate removeAllErrors path does not run during field revalidation.

Use querySelectorAll and remove each matched element.

Proposed fix
-		const errorMessage = container.querySelector( '.frm_error, [data-frm-error]' );
+		const errorMessages = container.querySelectorAll( '.frm_error, [data-frm-error]' );
 		const input = container.querySelector( 'input, select, textarea' );
...
-		if ( errorMessage ) {
-			removeElementFromInputDescribedBy( errorMessage );
-			errorMessage.remove();
-		}
+		errorMessages.forEach( errorMessage => {
+			removeElementFromInputDescribedBy( errorMessage );
+			errorMessage.remove();
+		} );

If I try to submit a blank field, I see my custom error I added in the custom HTML section.

However, when I correct the error, the original default error message goes away, but the custom error message remains.
