| Subject: | validate_FIELD method does not run unless field is marked as required |
If you do not set a field as required but want to validate it (for
instance the field is optional but you only want to allow certain
values) and you define a 'validate_' method in the form definition it is
not called.
See attached test that processes form with the only field with required
attribute set to false then true.
