Bypass field validation when running a script

[Gabe]

I just had a problem with a script going into an infinite loop because there was a related field being accessed as the script was processing local records. It just so happened that a required field was empty because it was created before I put in the validation. The script kept on looping, but it never showed me the validation error box until after I started debugging, and even then I had to actually click off of the debug window to try and look at the data before it showed me the error.

It shouldnt happen with new data because the users can't leave the field blank. But there still might be a few records that are blank. Is there a way to bypass field validation when a script is looking at the records?

You have the option to skip validation in the Commit Records script step.
