Disabling specific validations instead of disabling all of them?

[mitchellporter]

I already know that there is a way to disable validation when saving by passing in the validateBeforeSave: false option, but is there a way to disable a specific validation for a field? An example would be something like I want to validate the username, but not the password.

Is there a way to do this, or is validateBeforeSave the only option?

The validateSync() function supports passing a list of fields to validate, but that's more a hack than anything. No way to do that in general with save() but you can pretty easily write custom validators that skip validation given certain criteria

Awesome thanks for the help!
