Question

I want to display an editor for a type User. User contains a field Address of type Address. I made an editor template for the type Address so that it is reusable.

I don’t want the field Address to be required for creating a user. But some fields are required for Address, for example country, state etc.

I want to validate Address if I receive any data for it, if I don’t receive anything, then I don’t want to return any validation error to the UI for Address. I would return only validation errors for User then.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks,

You might want to look into a Custom Model Binder for your User type. That way you can choose to override the validation of the Address item inside a User.
