data-validation-optional-if-answered does not handle case of duplicate input name in another form.

If I have 2 different forms with input fields with the same names. The data-validation-optional-if-answered validator gets confused when there are such duplicates. Isn't it supposed to look at the named input of it's own form or is this by design?

Looking at the code it should do exactly as you say, it should only try to find the referred input within the same form. Do you have any example code I can look at?

It will take some to to extract sample working code from the project as I'm letting the backend do validation and the priority is deliverables. Debugging into the code, there is four forms with the same input names, each in a bootstrap modal that is hidden till needed. Is there a way to load non-minimized logic.js? I can't tell what is going on but it seems the formUtils.getValue() calls in logic.js gets a list of the four forms, along with all the other forms in the page and gets the input from first form of the four.

Please look for comment below at the a.formUtils.getValue()

I think the eq(0) get the first from this list regardless of whether this input is the one from the current form. Thats why the validation gets marked as skipped even when it is not supposed to be.
