Submit Form results when Validation is not met

Hi,

This will defeat the purpose of validation :)...

You could however remove the validation.. and at the general settings set it to "continue editing the form" so the user can continue editing the form.

Perhaps create a custom "validate" button to check fields.

Hope this helps.

I realize that it will defeat the validation; however, I have a user that wants the failed results.

Thank you.

Haven't heard this request before, but you could customize a form webpart, maybe start by cloning the bizform webpart and then check the IsValid, if not, submit the information in the form and maybe set a status of failed or something along those lines. The validation can still fire, and the user won't know that the form was submitted, until the validation is complete. The only thing I would do would be to always insert the form, not allowing any updates, so the form submission that you will be doing through code will just pull the data out of the bizform.Data object and submit a new entry everytime.

Is this user only a single user that is logged in? You could adapt the Form code file to bypass this user only?

I agree with David, but you would need to consider if no validation is met, then it can prone to spamming.

Thanks Ilesh

The other option is removing server side validation and implement some javascript, that will do conditional validation for you, but this is worth mentioning, that it is a bit risky, as someone could cheat it.

Thank you all for your very prompt and insightful responses. I do agree about the risk, and yes this request is not common to me either.

Joshua, I may try cloning the bizform as you have requested.

Let us know if you have any issues or need some more help.

Hello,

well, it depends on a validation. I can imagine you would create some hidden required field that would check a value of the field you want to validate and apply the condition according to current user (no customizing needed).
