Niall,
Thanks again for the reply. I am afraid this is not going to work for
me, however. The problem is I don't see how I can "do nothing
different than normal validation". Normal validation requires the
field names and validations to be declared in the validation.xml file.
I do not know in advance what those values will be. :(
If I am missing something let me know but I am just not able to comply
with the validation.xml declaration requirement since I don't know
what to put in the property value:
<form name="myLazyForm">
<field property="???????????" depends="required">
<arg key="myLazyForm.?????????.displayname"/>
</field>
</form>
