Form Validation validating blank values with min_length and valid_email rules

To validate input data to the database I will use one rule group to the inserts and other to the updates.

Then, in the inserts always will have a 'required' rule on all the fields.

In the updates, I want update only what the user sent (and is supported). Not forcing to send all the data if he do not want to update it. But I need to validate what he sent. The idea is do the HTTP Patch method works.
