Hi there,

I am creating a project where users have a profile that they can  
choose to update all at once or update once in a while. This leads to  
some of the “User” model being updated at different times (in a few  
different views). Is there a way to group validations in the User  
model so that only the attributes being asked about in one particular  
view are validated?

Thanks!  
Molly
