Validation errors message on array - php

Question

Quoting laravel documentation:
Likewise, you may use the * character when specifying your validation messages in your language files, making it a breeze to use a single validation message for array based fields:
'custom' => ['person.*.email' => ['unique' => 'Each person must have a unique e-mail address']]
It seems it does not work. I have a validation message:
'infos.*.*.*' => ['required' => 'My text']
Then I have some inputs in my view:
<input type="text" name="infos[1234][0][name]">
<input type="text" name="infos[1234][1][name]">
<input type="text" name="infos[5678][0][name]">
And in my controller I validate the input:
$this->validate($request, [
'infos.*.*.*' => 'required'
]);
And in view I have a error displayer:
#if (count($errors) > 0)
<strong>Oops. Errors:</strong>
<ul>
#foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif
And if I leave all input empty I got:
My text
My text
My text
My text
My text
etc.
What's wrong with my code? Reading Laravel documentation I though it should have worked (I mean: it should have been displayed only once). Did I misunderstood something?

This is working as intended. Since you're passing multiple inputs in an array, the validation throws an error for each item. Therefore 3 inputs with 2 causing errors and 1 passing would obviously pass error for 2 inputs. So in your case the multiple errors are due to multiple inputs failing validation.
