Problem/Motivation
When I create new content I get validation error messages for all the fields I have filled in. It looks like a loop that runs through the fields.
This happens although the fields are filled in correctly and the content is saved.
It is only for creating new content, not editing. This has happened on two different sites for me.
Install and enable yoast_seo version “2.0.0-alpha3" on Drupal version 8.5.8
Add new content
Save
No validation errors
Looks like a loop of validation errors. (see image)

flyke commentedI noticed this:
Content type with a Yoast field:
- click to add new content of that content type
- do not fill in any field, do not click save or modify anything, just open blank create new node page
- now just open the homepage
-> you get validation errors on all your requried fields without actually having created a new node

flyke commentedThis issue is still present in latest 2.x-dev.
It makes yoast_seo module completely unusable.
To recap:
- click to create a new node that has some required fields, like node/add/news if you have a news content type with required fields
- do nothing when this page is open, just immediatly open the homepage for example
- homepage shows validation errors for all reuired fields now despite you have not clicked on save or anything.

flyke commentedI think its major because it kinda breaks any websites default functionality if there are required fields
Comment #6
tom_vdb commentedI have created a quick and dirty fix.

qzmenkoPatch #6 is only suitable as a temporary solution, because it removes all messages on the page altogether.
