[Flow] Ignore validation errors for related object

[Stephen Bungert]

Hello Steffen,

Here is the property definition for my books image property:

---
 /**
  * The book's image.
  *
  * @var \Bungert\Library\Domain\Model\Image
  * @ORM\OneToOne(cascade={"all"}, orphanRemoval=true)
  * @ORM\Column(nullable=TRUE)
  */
 protected $image = NULL;
---

And these are my image getters/setters:

---
 /**
  * Sets image.
  *
  * @param \Bungert\Library\Domain\Model\Image $image The image for this 
book.
  * @return void
  */
 public function setImage(\Bungert\Library\Domain\Model\Image $image = NULL) 
{
  $this->image = $image;
 }

 /**
  * Gets image.
  *
  * @return \Bungert\Library\Domain\Model\Image The book's image.
  */
 public function getImage() {
  return $this->image;
 }

 /**
  * Removes image.
  *
  * @return void
  */
 public function removeImage() {
  $this->image = NULL;
 }
---

I can create images when I make a book, I can delete images, my probem is 
that I can't create a book unless I make an image. I want the image to be 
optional

I'm not sure that it matters, but I also have an initialise update action:

---
 public function initializeUpdateAction() {
  $propertyMappingConfiguration = 
$this->arguments['book']->getPropertyMappingConfiguration();
  $propertyMappingConfiguration->allowProperties('genres', 'image');
  $propertyMappingConfiguration->setTypeConverterOption(
                'TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\PersistentObjectConverter',
                \TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter\PersistentObjectConverter::CONFIGURATION_CREATION_ALLOWED,
                TRUE
        );
 }
---

That was necessary so that while creating books I could assign/unasign genre 
records (mayntomany relationship) to the books, but I also had to add image 
as one of the allowed properties. maybe this function isn't correctly done?
