Well, you still need to look up the city to save. Just typing text into a field doesn't relate the city to the user.
If you have city as a required relationship, then you need to include the city when saving the user.
If you are trying to bypass the validation temporarily, you can do ->skip_validation()->save().[/quote]
ok, i was hoping that DMZ would save the city for me if it did not exist, and use the ID for the city when saving the user
perhaps too much to ask for. But basically, bypassing the validation on that field is what i have to do, then create/get the ID for the city before saving the new user object?
