Problem/Motivation

When using a Tags multi-value field (taxonomy terms) as a required field on a node, and using the Autocomplete widget, it is impossible to remove more than one value at a time when editing the node. The only value that can be removed is the last one in the list.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a node content type with a Tags field
  2. Set the Tags field to be required, have unlimited values allowed, and use the Autocomplete widget on the Form Display. See attached config file field.field.node.page.field_tags.yml
  3. Create some Tags taxonomy terms
  4. Create a node of the content type, and add a few tags to it, then save it.
  5. Edit the node, and try to remove the first tag in the list by selected its text and hitting backspace. Then (try to) save.
  6. The save fails validation, saying the field is required. But only one tag was removed; there are still values in the field. See attached screenshot.
  7. Try reloading and edit again, this time removing more than one Tag value. Save fails similarly.

Proposed resolution

Fix the field validation.
