I am trying to display validation errors for `FormArray`, I have contact\_number and contact\_name in the array. The fields are getting added dynamically successfully but when they are invalid then I need to show validation error but its gives following error: 

```
ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'status' of null

```

My component code is as follows: 

```
ngOnInit() {
    this.createForm();
}

createForm() {
    this.userGroup = this.fb.group({
        'name': [null, Validators.compose(
            [
                Validators.required,
                Validators.pattern("^[a-zA-Z]*$")
            ]
        )],
        'email': [null, Validators.compose(
            [
                Validators.required,
                Validators.email
            ]
        )],
        'age': [null, Validators.compose(
            [
                Validators.required,
                Validators.pattern("^[0-9]*$"),
                Validators.min(18)
            ]
        )],
        'address': this.fb.group({
            'address_1': [null, Validators.required],
            'address_2': null,
            'city': [null, Validators.required]
        }),
        'contacts': this.fb.array([this.initContact()])
    });
    console.log(this.userGroup);
}

initContact() {
    return this.fb.group({
        contact_name: ['', Validators.required],
        contact_number: ['', Validators.required]
    });
}

```

My template code is as follows: 

```

            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

```

I am not getting what is the error as it gives error only when I try to display the error for contact name or number.
