hi tom,

in this special case the usage of @SkipValidation wouldn't lead to a nice
solution.

in case of bv + extval: there is a new add-on [1] for bv based
multi-field-validation.
however, also with this new prototype you would need group-validation (for
this special case) to bypass the constraints hosted at the targets of the
value-bindings.

regards,
gerhard
