Validations not firing for empty number attributes

[Darth Moxy]

I created validations that would fire when a customer hasn't put in width, height or depth, but they're firing on one product & not another

If you use the 'required for validation' checkbox on number attributes (only available when you're overriding the attribute at the product level, as seen in screenshots below) then the validations won't try to fire until the validation is filled out:

Can you provide a link to the help page this was quoted from? Are you saying that validations will not "try to fire" on a number attribute with a zero / null value that has the "require for validation" box checked?

I've used these types of validation on optional modification that, if opted for, need additional information. If the additional information is a value from an entry field, you need to go to that attribute and default it to "0". Once that's done, you need to create a validation with the conditions of "if this optional modification is opted for, and this addition info equals a 0, then fire." You will then white an action message saying something along the lines of "if this optional modification is opted for then you must provide the additional info".
