Examining the validation

It's interesting to see that the 'checkbox-group' uses 'formControlName="store_ids"'. The user is puzzled why validators aren’t firing when stores are checked. This setup suggests a custom component is at work.

Adjusting validation

OK, let's see. 'store_ids' as an array needs a FormArray. 'Validators.required' won't work with a simple string. Setting it as a FormArray ensures proper validation.

Noticing the issue

'store_ids' as an empty array might pass validation since Angular considers it valid. A custom validator is needed to ensure 'store_ids' isn't empty.

Assessing custom controls

OK, let's think this through: custom form controls like 'checkbox-group' might not link well with Angular's validation system, so the field status isn't transmitted correctly.

Setting up custom controls

Hmm, I’m curious if a custom 'ControlValueAccessor' is needed for the 'checkbox-group' to ensure 'store_ids' isn't empty by default. This seems like a crucial step.

Shifting focus

OK, we’re thinking about how a custom 'checkbox-group' without 'ControlValueAccessor' keeps 'store_ids' empty. This might be why Angular's 'required' validator isn't working.

Pinpointing validation clues

OK, let's identify the user's validation errors by examining 'personaForm.controls.store_ids.errors'. Ensuring 'store_ids' is an array and using 'ControlValueAccessor' with custom elements or libraries is crucial.

Overcoming empty array validation

I'm working through whether Angular's 'required' validator sees an empty array as valid. Using a custom validator or checking length might be necessary for clarity.

Revisiting empty array validation

I'm piecing together details on Angular's 'required' validator. It sees an empty array as invalid, and issues might stem from incorrect control references in the template or 'checkbox-group' value updates.

Assessing custom implementation

Wondering if the 'checkbox-group' component needs 'ControlValueAccessor' and the initial form state isn't right. FormArray might be the way to go for handling multiple checkboxes.

Revisiting checkbox handling

I'm exploring form arrays or individual form controls for checkboxes, or a fully integrated custom control with 'ControlValueAccessor'. Misuse of a single FormControl or incorrect initial state might explain the issue.

Examining error display

The user might not be showing validator errors in the template. This contrasts with standard Angular form applications, which typically highlight these for the user.

Figuring out custom control needs

I'm working through the idea that a custom control or form array might be necessary for 'store_ids'. The default 'required' validator might not trigger if 'store_ids' is non-empty.

Verifying Angular validator

I'm checking the Angular 'required' validator for arrays. An empty array triggers { required: true } but beware: errors might go unnoticed if (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" isn't used.

Spotting misconfigurations

I'm concluding that the issue might stem from incorrect checkbox setup or using a third-party library without proper form value transfer. Also, a custom directive omission could be causing the problem.

Spotting the inconsistency

OK, let me see—I'm noticing that the form is stuck in a pristine or valid state, likely due to the default '', which should actually be defined as an array for proper functionality.

Looking at checkbox config

I’m thinking the checkbox setup might need to update formControl values for efficiency and practicality. This makes integrating into the form easier.

Identifying gaps

OK, let me see. The user seems to be relying on a custom library or code for formControl values tied to checkboxes. Implementing ControlValueAccessor, aligning with Angular's handling, is likely needed to ensure proper validator activation.

Identifying the gap

OK, let me see: the absence of a custom form control for "checkbox-group" using ControlValueAccessor might be why the validator isn't triggered. The user might need to implement this functionality themselves.

Tweaking form setup

I’m refining the form setup with ControlValueAccessor and tracking checkboxes to ensure validators trigger correctly. This approach addresses the user's needs and aligns with Angular's best practices.

Integrating the solution

I'm gathering info on adding a ControlValueAccessor to the "checkbox-group" in the form. This should trigger the validator when checkboxes are updated, making everything work as expected.

Identifying the issue

The problem seems to be a missing custom ControlValueAccessor for the checkbox-group, incorrect use of store_ids, or lack of form submission triggering the validator.
