What I mean by "def" is the basic CRUD that rails provide def create .... end
def update ... end def new ... end I want that the data validates in 2 cases (create / update) because when I want to update , for example: Evaluation 1 - Question 1 If I update question 1 and change the content, and then I save it shows a error message that says "The number is being used" (and that shows that validates_uniqueness_of :qnumber, :scope works) I want that it only validates it when I'm CREATING a new one, not when I'm UPDATING How can I do that?
