Hi @james

I am very sorry for my long and impolite silence.

Here’s my test validation code going with a ACF setting of 1 text field named as ‘test’.

add_filter( 'acf/validate_value/name=test','my_acf_validatrion', 10, 4);
function my_acf_validatrion( $valid, $value, $field, $input ){
	if( !$valid || $value == ''  ) {
		return true;
	}
	if ( $value != 'a' ) {
		return 'bad input';
	}
	return $valid;
}

validation works
– publish > publish
– draft > publish

validation doesn’t work
– publish > draft
– draft > draft
– new > draft (newly posted one)

I wanna know the behavior above is by design or not…
