PHP validation in the backend now accepts a default value as the field value for a conditional field that is suppressed in visibility, even if the field value itself does not match the configured field validation settings, without any further notification. If the non-suppressed conditional field is visible but has a default value as the field value, the corresponding field validation messages are sent as usual from the JavaScript frontend or the PHP backend.
