Is it possible to disable all title/body validations?

Most importers skip validations by using the base importer.

script/import_scripts/base.rb

main


      
              position: opts[:position],
              parent_category_id: opts[:parent_category_id],
              color: opts[:color] || category_color(opts[:parent_category_id]),
              text_color: opts[:text_color] || "FFFFFF",
              read_restricted: opts[:read_restricted] || false,
            )
          
          new_category.custom_fields["import_id"] = import_id if import_id
          new_category.save!
          
          if opts[:description].present?
            changes = { raw: opts[:description] }
            opts = { skip_revision: true, skip_validations: true, bypass_bump: true }
            new_category.topic.first_post.revise(Discourse.system_user, changes, opts)
          end
          
          add_category(import_id, new_category)
          
          post_create_action.try(:call, new_category)
          
          new_category
