Field Validation in Schemas - Setting Validation: False On A Document Or A String Field

Hi,In relation to field validation in schemas the documentation says "Sometimes you can set 

validation: false

 on a document or a field to disable it.".I tried that on a document and on a string field without luck.
The expected behaviour is that the field becomes disabled, i.e. that data in the field is not editable, right? The documentation also says "sometimes", so maybe it just does not apply to document or a string field?

Hi Louise, I can see how that phrasing is confusing. Will make a note to adapt it. To disable a field and ensure the data is not editable, you can set

readOnly: true

instead 🙂

Ahh, so validation: false just disables the validation then? (actually it seems obvious now that I read it again 😄) But isn't validation also disabled by just not defining the validation parameter?

Thanks for the readOnly tip

Indeed, it usually is, but some fields may have default validation (e.g.

slug

) that you can disable this way, hence it only being ‘sometimes’. At least that’s my theory. Could use clearer wording though 🙂

Ok, that makes sense, thanks for helping!
