Re: Validation for a complex form

I think I found a bug in cakephp validation .. I just realized one of
my problems is this..
If you have a select box, but unpopulated yet because it needs to be
filled after click on some other item (e.g another select box) it
doesn't get passed as index in array in this->data

In my example the index 'omiljeniProf1' has never been shown in $this-
>data[] so the validation for it never took place.. I think it is a
bug, because, if I have a model, which clearly states that I have a
field 'omiljeniProf1' and that it must not be null, and in Model-
>save(this-data) it is not passed, it needs to show an error..

I will have to work around this by checking is it passed in my
controller.. But for that, I need to have a way to se if
data['omiljeniProf1']==null without generating an error when it
doesn't exist..
How to check this without an error ?

All the best,
Milos
