I did the steps above in Drupal 7 without any problems, works great. One minor problem though: 1. Create a story 2. Edit the story and try to change it to "testing", validation will stop you from saving 3. Now try to delete. The validation hook is triggered on the delete as well. By calling form_set_error delete will not be allowed. Strange huh? Of course there is a workaround for the end-user, but what is the best-practice? Test the clicked-button in $formstate?
