I've worked this one out myself - and it was pretty obvious: use a
beforeValidate method. I've included one below in case anyone else
searches and needs the answer
/**
* Returns true if all is ok, false if something failed validation
*/
function beforeValidate() {
echo '';
// Sample code to invalidate one field and make validation fail
$this->invalidate('field_Name', 'messageKey'); // messageKey can
be the error message or the key to the error message in the messages
array (see 1.2 validation documentation)
return false;
}
