In #25103 we deprecated the onUserBeforeDataValidation event and suggested that users should use the onContentValidateData event, but this event is never triggered.

So far this hasn't so much effect, reasons might be:

onUserBeforeDataValidation is not used in core
Deprecated documentation is missing

This needs to be fixed before 6.0 comes out.

$data = $dispatcher->dispatch('onContentBeforeValidateData', new Model\BeforeValidateDataEvent('onContentBeforeValidateData', [
            'subject' => $form,
            'data'    => &$data, // @todo: Remove reference in Joomla 6, see AfterRenderModulesEvent::__constructor()
        ]))->getArgument('data', $data);

onContentBeforeValidateData is being trigerred after a warning is shown that onUserBeforeDataValidation is depracated, and we are supposed to use onContentValidateData instead. But onContentValidateData is never trigerred.

Should I add :

$data = $dispatcher->dispatch('onContentValidateData', new Model\BeforeValidateDataEvent('onContentValidateData', [
            'subject' => $form,
            'data'    => &$data,
        ]))->getArgument('data', $data);

after the code snipped mentioned above ? @rdeutz
