It's not that simple... something about creating an ActionError and putting
it somewhere so it will magically make the message appear on the page when I
forward back to the input form.  I used to know how to do it, but then
things changed.  And that's why I want to use Validator.

>Two ways:

> 2) validWhen, which I *think* goes something like this:

The problem with both of these is that they just ask for <arg0> which is
generally the field label, and then complain that the 'field is invalid' or
(strangely) 'field is required'.  (validWhen is using 'error.required'.)

So I'm down to creating a custom "rule" copying validWhen but giving it a
different message, or just doing it manually in the Action, in which case I
think the info here will help:

Thanks!
