When using the
exclude_if
orexclude_unless
validation rules, nested fields are excluded from being validated, however they are not being removed from the validated data.This is a breaking change, however I would consider it a bugfix since the documentation is clear that "The field under validation will be excluded from the request data returned by the
validate
andvalidated
methods."The existing test case for this feature did not reflect the intended behaviour, so I just corrected that test rather than including a new one.
