Problem/Motivation

If you are on a node that has a paragraphs option, when you click the button to add a pargraph instance, it triggers the validation to run and shows warnings just above the paragraph.

We will need to detect that the event is somehow an initial add, and prevent validation from running.

I have not determined a way to intercept this yet.

I discovered this is not specific to Paragaphs. Even adding an image to an image field triggers validation on the whole node.

This was caused by ajax requests triggering the validation of the entire entity. I have hopped around this by detecting the ajax type of call and bypassing the validation in that case.

Other solutions would solve this by setting '#limit_validation_errors' on the form, but in the case of field constraints and validation, we don't have access to the form or form_state.

The MR solves the issue of premature firing of validation on ajax changes to the entity form.

Crediting dafeder for kicking this around with me enough to lead me to a solution.
