Problem/Motivation

Given workflow buttons are configured to be shown on a view display,
And a user submits the node form from a view display,
When a user has validation errors on submit,
Then the user should be redirected to a form display,
So that they can address the field validation errors.

Steps to reproduce

Issue summary: View changes

Thinking more about the original issue description, maybe it is obvious to which form display a user might be routed--we just route to the canonical form display route. Which form display is used is handled by just landing on the edit route.

I attempted a patch where we did just that, and simply forwarded the error messages on during the redirect. However, for my use-case, this doesn't quite address our niche issue: we change the error messages.

As it stands, in a hook_form_alter() $form['#validate'] callback, the $form_state->getErrors() are very different when submitting from the view display rather than the form display. So, our niche error manipulation logic needs to change--

Or, rather than capture and pass on the validation error messages, the validation needs to be run again once redirected to the form display.

Not sure yet if this is a good general case or feature. Digging.

Not a recommended path. We ended up abandoning having the buttons on the view display.
