Problem/Motivation

we should probably return
$element['value'];
instead of
just
$element
in case of an validation error.

Steps to reproduce

If you use Drupal core inline_form_errors module, you will note, that the link to the error element provided on top of the page will not scroll to the actual field. This is an indication of wrong error element returned. By using $element['value'] instead this gets fixed.

Hi hello, I just tested and reviewed MR! 17

old anchor element
<a href="#edit-field-isbn-0">ISBN</a>

new anchor element
<a href="#edit-field-isbn-0-value">ISBN</a>

New link works as expected. Simple code change, moving to RTBC.

Thanks for the fix! I tested with and without inline_form_errors module. When inline_form_errors module is installed the link in the error message doesn't indeed let you jump to the field without the fix. And with the fix it does.

I scheduled the merge.
