We just started to create new field types and found the "Is this a required field?" flag on the EDIT VALIDATION RULE page somewhat misleading.
Based on our test, this flag is really controlling the behavior of the server-side RSV validation engine on this rule. If set to Yes, the server-side validation engine will skip this rule. This is needed if this rule is based on a client-side JS function code, the server-side has no code to perform the validation.
However, this flag is labeled as "Is this a required field?" with the following description: "If this is set to yes, any time this validation rule is applied to a field, an asterix will appear next to it, to indicate the field must be entered." This seems to be misleading.
Hope someone can clarify our understanding.
Thanks.
