Ignore some errors from bindFromRequest

I have a special input form (a select multiple) with the name "allergies" on my form, but it returns an error if I do :

Form<Child> form = form(Child.class).bindFromRequest();

from my server side, with "Invalid value" error.

For it to almost work, I should rename my field to "allergies.id" but I can't change it.

So I wanted to ignore this field for errors, and did something like :

form.field("allergies").errors().clear()

but then, if I do a

if (form.hasErrors())

it returns true, just for allergies.

How can I ignore the validation of allergies ?

you can use:

 form.discardErrors();

I'm not sure if it's very clever to manipulate the list. A more clean way is to bind only the fields you want. public Form<T> bind(Map<String,String> data, String... allowedFields) {.

How ever form.field("allergies").errors().clear() can't work, because the you have an error map where for the key 'allergies' exists an empty list. form.errors().remove("allergies"); should work.
