Reply To: Submit frontend form even if validation fails

Hi there,

I’m also needing a front end acf_form() to NOT validate. I have a massive form which has a ‘save for later’ option. Obviously with required fields this cannot work.

I have tried the

window.acf.validation.active = false;

and set the submit button to

formnovalidate

what happens now is I no longer get the HTML5 validation on the page, but it now moves to a new page with a window that displays the fields that are not validated.

thus
—————————-
Validation failed

Project Title value is required
Sub-Specialty value is required
Current CV value is required
—————————-

So the form is still not saved unless these fields are populated.

It is at all possible to disable validation on a front end acf_form() ?

Thanks in advance and apologies if I have missed this solution elsewhere….
