Hello Michael, You could add the check directly inside the validate method to see if the validation should occur or not. Also since validators aren't visual artifacts, rendered would not be very semantically correct. However, I guess a "relevant" or "active" attribute could have been considered, but that would imply some specification changes to work with every validators and component libraries.
