Updated validation.php to repair block validation

[BenFremer]

The field key prefix change broke block validation. This fixes it. If you can give me an ETA for when this fix or a similar fix for ACF block validation will be in, that'd be appreciated. Thanks!

@BenFremer Hey Ben, just to confirm... did 6.0.4 introduce this issue? or was it present in 6.0.0?

@BenFremer
Thanks, you solved a HUGE problem for me!
to avoid modifying the plugin directly and make the modification independent from it (waiting for the fix), I added the logic in my theme, in a custom method linked to the acf/validate_save_post action.

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart <3

Good morning,
I confirm that currently version 6.1.7 does not check and does not stop the process of saving the post if a required field is not filled.

The fix works for me

edit
Currently this is fixed ONLY if the sidebar is open on the block with the required fields.

If you add a block with a required field and you simply "update" no error message (required fields) will appear.

We're currently working on a complete overhaul to our block editor validation and expect to release full support for every instance later this year in ACF 6.3. We'll keep you updated on our progress and beta availability.

@lgladdy Will the overhaul also please address the issue with non-block validation we raised in Issue #818 ? 🤞🏽
