required fields enforced on cancel with custom controller
I'm trying to build an edit page that contains a save and cancel button. The page has a required field and also has a custom controller.
The problem is that when I press the cancel button to invoke my cancel action, the cancel action is not invoked and instead the page displays an error that I must enter a value for the required field if I have no text in the field.
Is there a way to have this logic bypassed for a cancel action?
Thanks
