[Question]: Should TextInput inline invalidMessage appear somewhere in the DOM?

[lee-chase]

Question for Carbon

The TextInput when used with inline, invalidMessage and Invalid does not place the invalid message anywhere in the DOM. Is this correct it? The internal design for https://pages.github.ibm.com/cdai-design/pal/patterns/edit#inline-edit shows this below the text, another possibility would be to surface this data fro the error/invalid icon.

@lee-chase Interesting observation! I'm not sure on this. I looked through all our docs on the website and didn't see anything specifically for invalidMessage on inline TextInput.

This code was updated recently in #8806, but even there it appears the invalidMessage was previously conditionally rendered when not inline

@carbon-design-system/design @johnbister do you have any thoughts on this?

@johnbister let me know if I'm off mark, but it sounds like we'd probably want it to operate the same way as the non-inline version - The error message would display next to the text input, replacing any helper text that was previously there:

help.text.should.be.replaced.with.invalid.text.mov

@tay1orjones that sounds right to me!
