One final question I think :)

I am trying to inject a validation into the field for the check, what is the best way to do that?

I can see that my js checkValidyCommon function is called when the form gets submitted, is there a way to inject a validation item into the validationResults array at this point?

This was the code I copied for the check validity common

validationResults = [];
for (i = 0; i < validators.length; i++) {
    validator = validators[i];
    validationResults.push(checkValidity(validator, value, validityFnName));
}
validationResults.push(response);


// Add inline validation messages.
aggregateValidations(validationResults)
    .then(function (result) {

        // Add inline validation messages.
        fieldRenderer.validationListElement = addValidationMessages(
            containerElement, result.messages, fieldRenderer.validationListElement);

        // Add or remove validation error CSS class.
        if (result.success) {
            containerElement.classList.remove("formulate__field--validation-error");
        } else {
            containerElement.classList.add("formulate__field--validation-error");
        }

    });

// Return the validation results.
return validationResults;

I have a javascript function the returns a success/fail object with a message, is there anyway to get it into the pipeline

Bit busy right now, so I'll have to respond somewhat generically in the interest of time. Here are some resources you can refer to for inspiration:
If you are still having issues, let me know and I'll try to respond later in more detail.

Just to let you know I ended up cheating :D

I could not get it to register my validator, so I added a standard 'requiredtext' validator from the umbraco backoffice, this caused it to fire the checkvalidity functions and I was able to perform my extra validation.

I just could get this bit to work
```
RenderBotcheck.prototype.ensureValidator = function (validations) {
    console.log('ensureValidator');
    if (!validations.length) {
        return [{
            alias: "botcheckRequired",
            configuration: {
                message: "Please solve the question."
            },
            validationType: "required"
        }];
    } else {
        return validations;
    }
};
```
It just never registered the custom validator, so not sure what I have missed, but working ok so happy with it for now.
