Problem/Motivation

If AI Automators is enbled. When updating a content type, for example setting a field from required to not required, and the 'Enable AI Automator' checkbox is unchecked: then the form still tries to validate the field 'automator_search_index'

This field does not have a default value therefore triggers the front end validation and the javascript error:

'An invalid form control with name='automator_search_index' is not focusable.
…
'

Steps to reproduce

Enabled AI automators
Edit an existing content type
Manage fields
Leave 'Enable AI Automator' unchecked
Change a setting, eg. Required
Save Changes

Proposed resolution

Set the field to '#required' => FALSE

I could not replicate this issue. I believe there could be some custom javascript code or library that you might be using which is trying to find the element which is not visible on the page hence throwing this error in browser console.

This is fixed here for 1.1.x branch - 🐛 Vector Search view has a required value causing saving of field to fail Active . We could tag it so it is also backported to 1.0.0 if needed?

nvm - it is backported, there is just no new release for 1.0.x branch since.
