setformatter: return false

Depending on a condition I want to avoid the update of a field. I.e. I want to do "->set( false )" but based on a condition ... Can I do this with a setFormatter?

Field::inst( 'name' )
                    ->setFormatter( function($val, $data, $opts) {
                        if ($val = 'whatever') {
                             return false;
                        } else {
                             return $val;
                        }
                    }),

No - you can't to that with a set formatter I'm afraid. However, you can do it with an event .

ok, then I will use preCreate and preEdit. Thanks, Allan.
This should work:

->on('preCreate', function ( $editor, $values ) {
   if ($values['name'] === 'whatever') {
       $editor            
           ->field('name')
           ->set(false);
    }
})
