# How to remove Kendo mvc validator?

A [simple](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1469/5-simple-ways-to-stay-fit-amp-healthy) [question](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/23175/how-to-solve-neet-question-paper-in-less-time), or so I thought. How to [disable](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12901/how-to-disable-enable-input-box-in-aspx-with-value-from-sql) [client](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23198/3-steps-to-ensure-that-your-client-portal-is-impeccable) [side validation](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/33573/explain-client-and-server-side-validation) for kendo mvc [grid](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/369/how-can-i-add-a-column-name-to-my-grid)? I thought there would be a [property](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/205/property-notification-in-c-sharp): "Enabled", "[validator](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156905/what-is-data-annotation-validator-attribute-in-asp-dot-net-mvc)" or such which I could set to false but I can't find nothing.

You're correct in that there's no way to disable the [validation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12234/validation-using-data-annotation-using-entity-framework) via a property or options setting, however, you can work around it.\
The validators for the grid cells are created internally by the grid. You can disable validation by replacing the functions of the validator object in the "edit" event of the grid, after it is created, i.e.:\

```
edit: function (e) {    // Always return valid    e.sender.editable.validatable.validate = function () { return true; };    e.sender.editable.validatable.validateInput = function(input) { return true; };}
```

This should have the effect of disabling validation by always returning true.
