Unfortunately, there's no GOOD way to solve this in V1.0. There are some
new engine features planned for V1.1 that will make this easy, but they
aren't present yet. :-(
Until V1.1 comes out, you have only two choices that I can think off. The
first is the one that Colen suggested, which is VERY messy (as Colen points
out). The second option is to use the validation rule sets. If you have a
separate rule set for each Superstar, then the user can select which
Superstar to validate against. You can then assign the Fred rules to only
apply within the Fred rule set, and so on for each of the various
Superstars. Rules that are common to all Superstars would be defined in
their own rule set, and then each of the Superstar rule sets would inherit
from the basic rule set.
Hope this helps,
Rob
