@override
AbstractControl<dynamic> control(String name) {
  final namePath = name.split(_controlNameDelimiter);
  if (namePath.length > 1) {
    final control = findControlInCollection(namePath);
    if (control != null) {
      return control;
    }
  } else if (contains(name)) {
    return _controls[name]!;
  }
