In addition to the recently added
prohibited_ifandprohibited_unlessvalidation rules (#36516), I think a genericprohibitedvalidation rule may be useful.Use case
In my specific use case, the
prohibitedvalidation rule is useful when building API's while working with immutable attributes, for example:The license key is immutable and for that reason it's not part of the validation rules, so the API responds with a successful status given it just ignores the
keyattribute:When working with API's this might be confusing. This might give the impression that the request was successful and both the name and key have been updated while in reality only the name has been changed. The
prohibitedvalidation rule will throw a validation error if a prohibited attribute is submitted.
