Question

I’m trying to get my custom validation to work on create. But when I do a find then save, rails treats it as create and runs the custom validation. How do I get the validations to only work when creating a new record on not on the update of a found record?

Answer 1

Try this on your line of validation code:

validate :custom_validation, on: :create

this specifies to only run the validation on the create action.
