Rivka, look into the "validwhen" validation. I think that should do the trick.

I have a date validation like this: <field property=" student_birth_date" depends="required,date"> <arg key="Student birth date" resource="false" position="0"/> <arg key="MM/YY" resource="false" position="1"/> <var> <var-name>datePatternStrict</var-name> <var-value>MM/yy</var-value> </var> </field> I need that the validation above to depend on the value of the "action" property in the Form (i.e. if action equals "create" or "update" then do the validation, else ignore it) How can I do that?
