If you have no validation for that field in the Model then when you do:
$this->Item->save($this->data);
It will pass the validation:
You should check for invalid fields if you do this in the controller
something like this:
if ($this->Item->invalidFields()) {
if ($this->Item->save($this->data)) {
}
}
And you can add custom text to the field invalidation like this:
$this->Item->invalidate('field_name', 'invalid text or name of invalid
rule if that exists in the model for that field');
