I removed cthe validation in a form inside a workflow. The preview in the ui.designer is showing the correct result. But in the running application, the validation is still active. The event used on the save button is the “save” event.
Hello,
How have you removed the validation?
You should set “Validation-mode” to “No-Validation” in “Save” button’s configuration like in the attachment below.

Hi,
yes I removed the validation. In the preview of the ui.designer it’s working. But if I run the whole application, it’s not working.
Greetings
Can you provide a form which is not working? that we can check it and have a look?
Hi @josef-brisk-cache and @laman-rocky-clover, I was having a look at the models with Marco, and I highly doubt it is a form model issue. Of course I can still provide you with the form model. I tried a few things. Validation is switched off for the particular button in the form model in each case.
event: save → validation is still triggered
event: event_submit → validiation is still triggered
event: event_cancel → no validation
event: dummy → no validation
So it seems to me as if the validation is automatically triggered in workflows for events that try to save a document (without knowing, where exactly “save” would save a document, I could not find documentation on this event that workflows seem to know out of the box). Could that be the case?
Hi all,
This is a bug in A12WF that we’ll fix and then report back here. The fix is planned for version 8.0.7.
Hi Peter,
I am Mai from <PROJECT_NAME> team, we also need it for <PROJECT_NAME>. Do you know when the bug is fixed and released?
In the meantime, do you have any recommendations for us? Because we are doing the validation rules for our form, it quite blocks us at the moment.
Thank you,
Mai

Hello Mai.
We are already working on this bug and it should be fixed with the next release. We are not sure about the exact dates, but since it’s urgent, we will try to release it this week.

Hello @mnitsche.ext , @mai-green-rush
Today we have released 8.0.7, which contains the fix for the bug that you have reported.
Please keep in mind two things:
- Workflows Client is not running partial validation anymore for task forms, which will solve your issue
- Workflows have introduced new configuration property called
mgmtp.a12.workflows.skipPartialValidationForModels=list_of_models
that specifies the list of models that should be skipped during partial validation in backend (in Workflows Service). Please add the name of your document model there, so Workflows Service would skip validation for this specific model.
