Umbraco Validation Context
What is it?
UmbValidationContext provides a centralized validation system for forms in the Umbraco backoffice. It manages validation messages using JSON Path notation, supports both client-side and server-side validation, and enables reactive error counting for tabs and sections. This is essential for multi-step forms, workspace editors, and any UI that requires comprehensive validation feedback.
