Does any one knows if it is possible to change the '#required' in a custom validate handler?
I have tried the following:
function mymodule_validate_handler($form, &$form_state){
if($ignore) {
foreach fieldset($form) as f do
foreach fiedlset_elements(f) as fe do
$form[f][fe]['#required'] = false;
}
}
Well, this does not works. I still get the message:
XXXX field is required
any idea?

Its a bit more then that....
Well, i haven't described the full story...
I am working on a multipage registration form, those splitting up all the fields into couple of steps(do that in form_alter).
Sopuse i currently on page 2 which has a required field and i hit the Back button.
I take care of the step in myform_submit_handler but i can't get rid of the error messaged. In my form_validate_handler I have tried to unset the elements or set #required to false, but none of those do the job.
I could set all fields to #required=false on creation of each page and to check them all at validate_handler but Is there a Drupal way to do it
regards,
First off, if you are
First off, if you are creating a multipage registration, you should do this using hook_user, unless you are only splitting up username and password (the two preexisting fields).
Second, the back button doesn't work properly on any mutli-step forms.
Third, you can do what you want using hook_form_alter(), but it won't work when you use the back button, since the back button doesn't work properly with mutli-step forms.

What do you mean....
What do you mean doesnt work properly?
The opposite of working
The opposite of working properly :D
I.e. it has unexpected results. For example, if you have a four page form, and click back on page four, it will take you back to page two, and you lose and/or save some of the values.
