There is a configuration option for the grouping to be deep (recursive). It can be set either globally with ko.validation.init( { grouping: { deep: true } } ) or in the group call itself, e.g.: self.errors = ko.validation.group( self.notes(), {deep: true} );

BTW, the way you did it could be written in much shorter form:

self.errors = ko.validation.group(
    ko.utils.arrayMap(self.notes(), function(note) { return note.name }));
