Describe the bug
In the online documentation, following "Build your first application" --> "Create news items", the form is validated as soon as it's first loaded, before the user submits it. I've seen a discussion about this where it was suggested there should be an extra check to see that it is a POST request before the validation is called.
CodeIgniter 4 version

Documentation
Expected behavior, and steps to reproduce if appropriate
I think the documentation should be updated so the form is only validated after the form has been submitted, not when it's initially loaded. As someone following the tutorial, I thought I had made a mistake when I was seeing the validation messages before submitting the form
