Im very new to CodeIgniter, using 4.5.5. I got a HTML form, a sophisticated one, to manage data in a database. Suddenly the validation form error view does not show errors with a point marker in different rows, but all errors without markers in a single row. I dont know what i have changed causing this. I didn engage a git, so i cannot roll back. When i look into the HTML code, CodeIgniter produces, the only difference to the tutorial first app i see is the ::marker is missing in the li tags.
See the form error view

Reset to default 0It looks like your not return back to the form or any view with validation errors you can use method $this->validate($array_of_rules) and return back validation error if found
for example
public function new(){
$rule = [
'ICAOcode' => 'required|max_length[4]|min_length[4]',
'newrunway' => 'max_length[3]',
];
if($this->validate($rule)){
//do some stuff validation passed
}else{
return redirect()->back()->withInput();
}
}
make sure in your veiw you have called helper('form') and then in your views output validation errors by <?= validation_list_errors() ?>
