Well, you can put what the user entered in the session, which you should really be careful about--you really shouldn't store a lot of data in the session, so this is kind of a quick and dirty hack suggestion.

You can have a table for partially-filled forms, which is not subject to validation, and save to that during editing, and move data from there to the "real" table on commit.

You can add an "in-progress" flag to your table, and check that during validation.

In both of the latter cases, you need a timestamp and some process to purge data that results from abandoned sessions.
