# Dec 1st 2017, 21:34 phantomwatson It sounds like you need to actually `allowEmpty('number')` and then add some logic in your controller or `PhonesTable` that ignores any `Phone`s with empty numbers instead of saving them to the database.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 phantomwatson Is there any error that is still occurring that you would like help solving?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 obinoob but then I need to provide two phone number as they are not allowed to be empty...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 obinoob no, with not Empty() it will fail in validation as expected
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:31 phantomwatson Even after you added the `notEmpty()` validation rule?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:30 obinoob at phones table
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:30 obinoob no they are not however the entity is filling up the id and client_id automatically and filling the phone number with null
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 phantomwatson So they're not obligated to enter two phone numbers?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 obinoob only saving whats available
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 obinoob quite the opposite I only want to save registry in database if available I can't predict if client has or wants to give phone number that are the business rules get that so I can't force them to be required
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:27 phantomwatson It sounds like you need some client-side validation to require values for both phone numbers. if you also include `$validator->requirePresence('number')`, I think the FormHelper will automatically mark the field as required, and modern browsers will automatically prevent the form from being submitted until a value is entered.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:24 obinoob but the deal is it will fail and I'm obligated to enter two phone numbers
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:24 obinoob sorry not it doesn't
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:23 obinoob yes it does
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:23 phantomwatson Even after you add the `notEmpty()` validation rule it still saves empty values for `number`?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:22 obinoob phantomwatson the first time it will save empty but the second the "NULL" value is duplicated in DB and by then it will throw a SQL exception at uniqueness constraint
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:19 obinoob phantomwatson INSERT INTO `phones` (`number`, `client_id`, `created`) VALUES (NULL, 44, '2017-12-01 20:38:05')
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:19 phantomwatson In the `PhonesTable` class, try adding `$validator->notEmpty('number');` to `validationDefault()` and removing `allowEmpty('number')` if it's there.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:18 obinoob phantomwatson entity is saving empty phone...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:15 phantomwatson What is the error that you're trying to correct?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:14 obinoob next when I enter a second client with one phone number (a second empty) it fails due to UNIQUE constraint obviously I'm not allowing duplications in database...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:12 obinoob phantomwatson yes I can, I have and entity with multiple association ex: client hasMany phones! in form I have two inputs for phone numbers (phones.0.number and phones.1.number) so if only enter one phone number the second goes empty. with client FK id and PK id as well...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:07 phantomwatson *Question for the rest of the channel:* can anyone recommend a way to change a component configuration value from inside an integration test? (I'm trying to turn off reCAPTCHA response checking in a test.)
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:05 phantomwatson You need a validation rule that invalidates entities if they're missing a foreign key for an association?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:05 phantomwatson Could you be more specific in your question? I don't understand.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:04 obinoob anyone willing to help?
# Dec 1st 2017, 20:26 obinoob how can I avoid entity from saving association if empty allowed and no value is passed?
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:56 obinoob h.mavisakalian I would start by checking the XHR request under Network -> Chrome (or oder) so you can take a closer look at "Form Data" then obviously debug($this->request->data())... in controller action
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:48 h.mavisakalian I am fetching data from a JSON url
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:48 h.mavisakalian ?
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:48 h.mavisakalian Any ideas
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:48 h.mavisakalian “General error: 1366 Incorrect string value: ”
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:48 h.mavisakalian I get an error while saving data to database
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:47 h.mavisakalian Hey Guys
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:43 obinoob I need to know if I can stop it to save the empty field?
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:41 obinoob the second "deep" association level !
# Dec 1st 2017, 19:41 obinoob I have field with validation rules that go through the following filters: ->email ->allowEmpty and ->add with options to be unique in table etc... however if empty it still gets stored and next time it will stop at unique condition... do not know if it is related with the fact that I'm using a entity with associations where emails happen to be in
# Dec 1st 2017, 18:51 dereuromark keep it simple at the beginning, you can always easily refactor in the future.
# Dec 1st 2017, 18:49 slackebot2 that would work too. Thanks
# Dec 1st 2017, 18:49 randompherret I have a small app that is recording some data in 3 tables. I need to generate a report I know I can just add an action to an existing controller but I want to make sure I would do it the same way as I would in a bigger app in case this grows. Is it recommended to just add it to whatever controller would fit the best, to the pages controller, or make a new one? I'm not finding anything useful on google so if someone has a link to read
# Dec 1st 2017, 17:04 meder hmm, no but i'll double check
