SplitDateTimeField doesn't show errors

• Django version: 3.1.1
• Python version: 3
• Template pack: bootstrap4

Description:

SplitDateTimeField doesn't show errors. E.g. when only date is filled and time input is empty.

The issue is in CSS, block with error has display: none property while other fields with error don't because they have an additional class .is-invalid. See an attached screenshot.

Yes, this is related to existing issue with multifields with this template pack.

There is a tentative patch for this but I'm fairly sure that is the wrong way to fix it. #976

Any other ideas welcomed.

simplylizz@3c84035 - I'm going to stick with this workaround, for my case (building a prototype) it's enough. Yes, it will highlight all MultiWidget fields in case of error, though I think it's much better than a completely hidden error.

Also I don't know if it will break any other use cases, I'm not a frontend guy.

For anyone looking for a quick, unintrusive workaround, you can simply add display: block to the error container.

#error_0_id_<field_name>, #error_1_id_<field_name> {
    display: block;
}

The container is only rendered if there's an error, so it wouldn't override anything unexpected.
