Problem with field validation and values added via saveReady hook

[Juergen]

Hello @ all,

I cannot find a solution for this behavior:

I want to validate a field which value is sometimes filled out manually and sometimes via a hook.

The custom validation was done with this type of hook:

$pages->addHookAfter("InputfieldDatetime::processInput", function($event) {

The hook for adding a value in this field is done via this type of hook:

$pages->addHookBefore('saveReady', function($event){

The 2 hooks work but the problem is that "processInput" runs before "saveReady" and so I always get the error that the field is empty. But the value will be added correctly if you can see at the following screenshot.

If I fill out the value manually everything works. So which type of hook runs before "processinput" and can be used to populate a field with a value.

Thanks

No need to investigate further. I have disabled the validation if the value will be added via a hook. The validation only take place if the value is entered manually
