Validation / Partial Refresh Problems

I am having a problem working with partial refresh and validations.

I have some fields that are performing actions onchange as well as some fields that are disabled depending on the values of other fields.

However all this functionality no longer works when I start doing some simple required field validation.

I have client side validation turned off at the moment. Before I had it turned on but it was causing the errors to fire every time i changed a field, then when checked “no data validation” the functionality was lost again.

I wouldn’t mind writing some simple validation into the save button however I am having problems retrieving the values from the fields. Can someone help me with this situation?
