Let me tell you cannotIt is not possible for triggers to ignore validation rules without adding custom logic.
If the request to save a record originates outside of a Standard UI edit page, any before
triggers you've defined will run prior to the execution of validation rule atrules.
Unfortunately, once all and hence validation rulethe before
triggers are finished, Salesforce will always run before trigger runs, without exception, the System validation rules (ie.Best will be make a boolean field on object required fields, max length, etc.) and in a before insert trigger check that field also modify theUser-Defined validation not to execute if that boolean is tickedrules (ie. the formula-based rules you've defined).
Here is one strategy to bypass this behavior:
- Add a "Skip Validation" Checkbox field to the object
- Set the "Skip Validation" field to
TRUE
in abefore
trigger. - Add logic to your validation rules so that they do not execute if "Skip Validation" is set to
TRUE
.
