Thanks for your allowBlank patch <https://trac.cakephp.org/attachment/ ticket/2092/allowBlank.patch> But, at least for me it needs patch again in model.php (see below which is after my previous patch <https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/ 2359>) FWIW, my usage of syntax is something outlined here <http:// groups.google.com/group/cake-php/msg/439dc65a6ddd80a9> and <http:// bin.cakephp.org/view/152660210>. If my previous patch and current patch are not applied, it takes the default error message and other option values (IOW, my custom error messages and options are not taking effect). In case, if it works for you without the patch, may I know your usage (syntax) of validator?
