  You cannot use reqired field validator, use custom validater and write the function to achieve your requirement. This would be server side or client side. If you use server side, use the IsValide method to validete.

  Thanks

  Check validator control's Enabled Property.  you can disable validator on page_load and enable it on event code.

  Hello,

  You can call the below script when you need to disable the validator

  ValidatorEnable(document.getElementById('<%=ValidatorID.ClientID%>'), false);

  And when you need to re-enable it

  ValidatorEnable(document.getElementById('<%= ValidatorID.ClientID %>'), true);

  Hi, If you haven't already done so, set CausesValidation="false" for the Save button. Example:

  <asp:Button ID="yourButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" Text="Save" />

  If needed, disable the RequiredFieldValidator on Click event of the button using:

  RequiredFieldID.Enabled = false;
