Steps to reproduce

When no items are in the list:

1. open the browser console and observe the error message path (it is also written in the logs)
2. click trigger validation and look at the logs
3. click submit form and look at the logs

When trigger validation is clicked, the error message path is error.message
When submit form is clicked, the error message path is error.root.message
To handle the message i need to consider both paths and i believe that shouldn't be the case given the error comes from the same useController that points directly to the array, and not the entire form or any other parent object.

Expected behaviour

error.message should always be the path. Not error.root.message

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox
