when i submit dialog without filling inputs the validations are executing correctly after that if I close the dialog (gave up, dont want to save modal) because of executed and fail validations I cannot submit parent form due to this issue. Any help will be appreciated!

Answer 1

If your parent form and your dialog are part of the same <h:form> you have to take care of the process attributes of your ajax behaviors. If you process the whole form the input fields in your dialog are also processed even if the dialog is not shown. So take care that you only process the fields outside the dialog.
You could also place your dialog in an own <h:form> (not within the other <h:form>), e.g.
<h:form id="form">
parent form
</h:form>
<h:form id="dialog-form">
<p:dialog ...>
dialog form
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
Then you can use #form within each form. If you want to process or update the other form you can use absolute ids, e.g. ":form" or ":dialog-form".
