Hello @paulfalgout, Can you provide an example of the issue taking place as well as a video?

[paulfalgout]

No need for a video. https://jsfiddle.net/5cgkuj8n/

Formio.createForm(...).then(function(form) {
  // Both of these used to work and now they don't
  form.showErrors('error');
  form.showErrors(['error']);
});

Was your issue addressed? The docs say it has to be an object but webform.js itself still uses string. This is getting quite confusing #4862

AFAIK this hasn't been addressed @bilogic
