skip validation for a field

[claudiobosticco]

Hello, as the doc says, the method dsRequest.setValidated can be used to skip validation server side.
I've tried it in a dataSource with a serverConstructor, overriding the execute method, and it works: I've conditioned it for a particular user role.
Is it possible to skip validation only for a specific field, instead?
I've looked for something like dsRequest.getField("foo").setValidated but found nothing.

The way to do this would be a custom validator that looks in the ValidationContext for a flag you've set on the DSRequest or one of the other context objects.

Thanks for the hint. Actually I was looking for a centralized way of doing it, I managed to do it in the override of the execute method, by checking the ErrorReport object and modifying it before returning the DSResponse.
Is it safe to do this?

Yes, modifying or replacing the errors is perfectly valid.
