@santosh-pingle , could you please confirm if this is still reproducible?

[santosh-pingle]

Issue is reproducible.
Me and @aurangzaibumer already had discussion on it.
He already proposed draft, which he supposed to share with @f-odhiambo as per offline discussion with Umer.

@aurangzaibumer do you have any update/ETA for this? thanks

Have investigated the issue and there are two possibilities to solve this problem

1. to introduce/add a new field on questionnaireItemViewItem that checks if answers is either being modified/add/deleted by the caller. In that way we will able to apply check before calling clearAnswer method. If User has not updated/added/answer in that case we wouldn't call clearAnswer.

2. to make answers variable in questionnaireitemviewitem nullable and initialize it when answer is either being added/modified/deleted but haven't tried this out because it has a very huge impact on all view factories and its usage is almost on all view factories.

@jingtang10 Please review and suggest which one you think is more suitable.

when (validationResult) {

i think what you need to do is to make sure if the answer is not validated you don't show any error.

Looking into it, thanks!
