Field Validation doesn't work with IEF [#1949224]

I am using an Inline entity form of the content type "Organization" that is placed inside a content type that I have called "Contact"

If I create a property validation rule to avoid creating the same organisation (validating the title), this works fine if I just try and create two new organisations by just adding them via "add content", so it seems that Field validation is working fine. However If I use the inline entity form , I can add a new node (which doesn't actually create it yet) and when I submit the contact it doesn't complain and just goes ahead and creates a new organisation with the same title.

So when I submit the "Contact" with a newly added "Organisation" that already exists this does not do the field validation.

I am not sure if this is a bug with Field Validation (http://drupal.org/project/field_validation) or IEF

Thanks...and once again this is a really great module

IEF invokes all field attach hooks just like a normal form would, so I'm unsure why there would be a difference in the behavior.
Let's ask the Field validation maintainers.

It is a bug of Field validation, but I could not able to fix it.
It is too difficult to fix it.

This appears to be an Inline Entity Form issue, as the field validation works fine for non-IEF entity reference widgets.

As a test, I set up the 'Number of selections' validator, then inside of:

field_validation_number_of_selections_validator->validate

I dumped out $this->items and attached screenshots of both.

I'm not necessarily sure this is a bug, or rather just a conflict of function.

Another issue says that field validation works fine if it's configured to use the "Set errors using field API " option.

Reopen with a patch if any additional issues exist.

I just tried again. Issue still exists. I checked 'Set errors using field API". I tried both the field_validation prod and dev branch. I also am using IEF dev. The issue still appears to have to do with IEF doing things differently when creating new entities. I have not yet tested it when selecting existing entities only.
