    I have custom post types and added fields using below code :

    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'wp_register_meta_boxes' );

    function wp_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
   return $meta_boxes[] = array (...........);
}

    Now on saving post as draft, validations of meat box created with above runs. I want to disable validations when post is saved as draft.

    Please suggest if this is possible ?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jas,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Currently, Meta Box does not support disabling the validation based on a condition.

    Thanks for your comments !

    Seems like possible in acf wordpress plugin, any plans to implement this ?

    Looks like validations are handled on client side https://docs.metabox.io/validation/#validation-with-input-attributes, I think applying conditions will be possible if we can completely disable metabox validations at client side and apply our custom validations on server side on post from submit. Is that possible to add validations on fields created with metabox with PHP code in custom plugin etc

    For example using hook such as :

    add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','callback_function');

    or using save_post hook etc

    I have solved it in different way using this action add_action('save_post', 'my_custom_save_post');
