Reproduction Steps

1. In users collection config add an example hook:

  hooks: {
    beforeValidate: [
      (data) => {
        const { password } = data.data || {}
        if (password.length < 8) {
          throw new ValidationError({
            collection: 'users',
            errors: [
              {
                message:
                  'Password has to be at least 8 characters long',
                path: 'password',
              },
            ],
          })
        }
      },
    ],
  },

2. Enter a password that is at least 3 characters long but shorter than 8 (ex. 5 characters)
3. Hit save
4. The collapsible get's closed, only a toast with error is visible
5. Click the 'change password' button to see the validation error
6. A validation error is visible

Expected result: Once validation fails the collapsible should stay open
