Hi, I have a model where a field is required on the Add (create) page but can be empty on the Modify (update) page.
My model specifies the field should be not-empty on create only, but the "required" css class (red asterisk) still gets added on the modify page. How do I make this a non-required field on the modify page? MODEL: class Diploma extends AppModel { var $validate = array( 'specialite' => array( 'notempty' => array( 'rule' => array('notempty'), 'message' => 'Veuillez saisir la spécialité', 'required' => false, 'on' => 'create', // Limit validation to 'create' or 'update' operations ), ), ) } On both ADD and EDIT pages (although these are for a parent model): echo $this->Form->input('Diploma.0.specialite', array('label'=>__('Spécialité',true),'size'=>40)); The behaviour of the validation rule works correctly when I save but I just can't get rid of that star!!!
