System validation can't be a turnoff .  You have to enter the validate data always like LastName field on the Contact is always required ..

Hi Team,

@Chrisludovice -  Like standard email validations (format check). I don't need standard format check, want custom regex to check, and want to turn-off standard email format check.

@Deepali Kulshrestha - Yes you are right if it custom validation then we can handle at profile level but what if it is standard validation, i.g., e-mail field validation (standard format check)?.

So here below I am elaborating one scenario. 

Let take the example of standard email field format check:

          Suppose standard email field format check is not fulfilling the requirement and I want to implement one custom Regex validation. so now whenever a record is getting saved, the system first checking standard email format check and then it is checking custom regex format check. so if custom validation is fulfilling the requirement then there is no need of checking standard format check, and it will be affecting system performance as there is no use of checking standard validation.

So please let me know if there is any way to turn off standard validations.
