For a given datamapper model, how should fields that are required on some forms and not required/used on others be handled? My idea was to pass a validation array into the constructor, but would love to hear how others are solving this.
For example, my User model has a required password field in the validation array. I'd like to use the same user model elsewhere on an abbreviated form that only requires a few user related fields and doesn't require a password.
