"If the phone is empty, we don't want a warning, but we don't want to save this record either."
Do not warn and do not proceed to save routine then (actually isn't that Save routine already doing these checks). I do something like this:

* myEditorButtons::SaveRecord
if .BeforeSave()
 .Save()
 .AfterSave()
endif

I do not use GetFldState() and explicitly check my rules.
