I'd like a consistent and simple way to bypass required fields without making the fields not required. Anybody have a good workaround?

I use a snippet that goes something like this:

add_filter('frm_validate_entry', 'validate_my_form', 20, 2);
function validate_my_form($errors, $values){
$formId = $values['form_id'];
If ($formId == ) {
return array();
}
return $errors;
}

Thanks, Rob. Looks like this turns off required fields for everyone. Any hints on how to ensure this is only for a given user or role?

You can do anything in that function that you can do in PHP. If you want a certain user, you can use:
if (wp_get_current_user() == )
and if you want a certain role you can do something like this:
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$allowed_roles = array();

$allowed = !empty(array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user->roles));
