I made a temporary solution until the developers tell me what to do next. The field is now being validated in the Draft. If the value is already in the database, then after saving to the draft, the field is erased.

			// validate for published post (allow draft to save without validation)
			if ( $post->post_status == 'draft' ) {

				// bail early if validation fails
				if ( ! acf_validate_save_post() ) {
					return;
				}
			}
