Description

Hi, considering the below code:

#[derive(Args)]
- #[command(args_conflicts_with_subcommands = true)]
+ #[command(args_conflicts_with_subcommands = true, ignore_errors = true)]
pub struct Cli {
	#[command(subcommand)]
	pub command: Command,
}

#[derive(Subcommand)]
pub enum Command {
	#[clap(alias = "p")]
	SubCommand(SubCommandA),
}

By adding the ignore_errors, the help command of the SubCommandA is no longer working.

How to reproduce an issue?

Add ignore_errors to any Command that contains the Subcommand (does have help).
