>irrespective of validation message if rule runs successfully will return good status.
Confirmed.
As a workaround I tried below on my local and it worked.
Below is the activity steps which run a series of validation rules and set error flag for each validation.
Error messages display on top of each section.

Is tracer tool available to use in your case?
If not, open up each validation rules one by one to see which one sets the message.

No. But guidance to mentioned solution too helps us.
Our requirement.
Showing a page data under different headers using layout group. And need to display alert for corresponding area when any of its field fail validation.

Which version of PRPC are you working on?
with PE 7.1.9, I can see error messages right under the validation target field, and the focus is automatically jumping to the error field as you click on the "Show next error" banner.

There is no OOTB way to display error messages right under the header of a section.
If your validation rules are configured one for each section, I suggest you to define errorFlag property for each section and set it to true if there is any validation error, then you can use the errorFlag to control the visibility of the error message defined under a section header.

Yes that's true and in trying to do same are wandering to know the solution.
All the sections are on same page and say 1st validation has set messages and keeping @hasmessages check at end of 2nd validation is not helpful.

Try run and test the execution result of a validation rule like below.
1. use obj-validate method to call a validation rule.
2. test the method execution status in the transition block using StepStatusGood when rule.
