Re: Validation question:not required but still needs to be validated if entered

[Sven Kiesewetter]

I think, you have to implement your own validator. Let is inherent from 
the original validator and overwrite the appropiate method. Than you can 
 skip the validation if the field was empty.

Hi :

 

I have a date field and it is not a required field. If somebody enters 
the value then It has to be valid date though. How should I do it? I 
have removed required flag in my validation.xml but it still says required.

 

My validation.xml entry looks like

 

         <field    property="dob"

               depends="date">

                 <arg0 key="createAccountLevel1Form.dob"/>

                     <var>

                       <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name>

                       <var-value>MM/dd/yyyy</var-value>

                     </var>                  

         </field>

 

I removed required flag but it still stays required.

 

 

Thanks

 

Shrihas.
