I have a form that validates against some data in my database. I have the custom validation working. What I would really like though is to validate only once; i.e show that validation message and let the user submit the form again if they choose without a validation message. Is this possible?

Validate Once

Validation fires every time a user submits a form. You could add a hidden field, and then after the first submission, it populates that hidden field and upon the second submission you could test for that value and then skip your validation you added.

That makes sense. But how do I populate the hidden field from within the validation hook? I know how to pre-populate it when the form is built. That would fire before the validation though. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. ;)
