Documentation for which fields and methods needs passing when nested fields are used for ValidatedFields

[cordial]

Overview of the feature request

Inside the new react-hook-form ValidatedField component (react jhipster), there is a line that says -
" For complex use cases or for nested children, use Reactstrap form elements

• or ValidatedField or ValidatedInput and pass methods and values from react-hook-form's useForm hook"

However, there is no mention of which methods/values to pass and I am struggled to nest ValidatedField, which seems a pretty basic use case. Could you add some more clarity to the comments to tell me which I would need for the validation to work in a nested case (just a basic example of required is maybe all that is needed).

Motivation for or Use Case

I would like my form to be populated by a js object rather than having endless ValidatedField components.

It seems that I've just raised a similar issue, this is a very basic feature that was always available in Jhipster, and developers were able to design the form using multiple columns view as needed and now it seems that we are restricted to one row per field only unless we can start using the library features outside of the framework. This simple wrapper is good only if the page has a few fields, however, any web page having more fields needs to rearrange in column view. We can definitely use the library and bypass the Jhipster generated wrapper, however, sample code about workaround of how to pass method and values from react hook form will be helpful for a non-react developer.

Please refer to the documentation of react-hook-form as the provided components are just thin wrapper over that

the validated field as is is useless in anything but the most basic of cases. Referring to the react-hook-form docs just made me use react-hook-form instead of validatedField and validatedForm. If you're not going to support them, don't use them.
