# False Validation Warning

 * A client has questioned the validation error message on their form.
 * `1 configuration error detected in this tab panel`
 * I set the form up to draw in the recipient ‘to’ email address from the CF7 shortcode,
   so that the same form can dynamically got to different recipients on different
   pages. It works like a dream.
 * To enable it, the ‘to’ box in the form setup contains a shortcode ([destination-
   email]) rather than a simple email address.
 * This falsely, but understandably, prompts a validation error.
 * Is there a way to disable validation checking or suppress the error message on
   forms where the ‘to’ input field contains a shortcode rather than a simple email
   address?

 * Thanks. I’d rather not disable the validation for all forms, just the one set
   up like this. Is there a way to disable validation on a specific form id?
