Blazor: Model-specific validation errors of a list of child models cannot be shown individually

[Tragetaschen]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

I have a parent model with a list of child models in an EditForm/ObjectGraphDataAnnotationsValidator/ValidateComplexType context. I iterate over the child models and show form UI for each individual list item and want to show item-specific validation errors. For individual properties, I can show the ValidationMessage, but I cannot find a way to show validation errors for the item itself.

Expected Behavior

I want a method to show child-model specific errors that are not bound to individual properties

Steps To Reproduce

I have extracted a repository containing code that shows the issue: https://github.com/Tragetaschen/blazor-nested-list-validation

There is a parent model containing a list of child models (with some validation rules)
https://github.com/Tragetaschen/blazor-nested-list-validation/blob/main/Pages/ParentModel.cs#L7-L10

The child model has a couple of properties and an IValidatableObject implementation:
https://github.com/Tragetaschen/blazor-nested-list-validation/blob/main/Pages/ChildModel.cs#L13-L19
Note that this does not reference individual fields in the validation result.

In the EditForm, I can reference the entire ValidationSummary that shows all errors including those for the child model, I can reference the errors for individual properties of the child model, but I cannot get errors on the child model level.
https://github.com/Tragetaschen/blazor-nested-list-validation/blob/main/Pages/Form.razor#L15-L18

To reproduce, "Add" a child model, fill the Req field and then "Submit" leaving the Name and Alt fields empty. You will see the child model error in the validation summary, but not at the individual item level.

@Tragetaschen I had a similar requirement,
#40306
I ended up with a system where each child was surrounded by an EditForm, and aggregated all errors in my main component. to show if there was an error in any of the subitems.
