    Hi,

    If the field is hidden by the conditional logic, the validation will be ignored. Refer to this commit https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/pull/1361

    Thank you very much for your reply. However, it is not due to the validation. It is due to the tab wrap. I have custom fields that are wrapped in the tabs. The custom fields in the inactive tabs are not working as it is.

    The 'required' condition for data in the inactive tabs are not working. The 'required' condition only works in the active tab.

    Is there any way to overcome that?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    The field in the inactive tab will be considered as a hidden field so it will not be validated. It is expected behavior. However, I will inform the development team to consider covering this case.

    Thank you very much for escalating this issue to DEV.

    Is there any alternative way to override this?

    Is there any option to save the draft even the validation is not met?

    Because, in my case, there are a lot of data (custom fields) that are not saved in the DB is a bit of a complication for us.

    Are there any codes to save the content in the DB (save draft) before the validation of the fields especially 'required' attributes?
