     * By using $mode equal to 'create' or 'update', you can allow fields to be empty
     * when records are first created, or when they are updated.
     *
     * ### Example:
     *
     * ```
     * // Email can be empty

     *          ],
     *          'subject'
     *      ],
     *      'update'
     * );
     * ```
     *
     * It is possible to conditionally allow emptiness on a field by passing a callback
     * as a second argument. The callback will receive the validation context array as
     * argument:
     *
     * ```
     * $validator->allowEmpty('email', function ($context) {
     *  return !$context['newRecord'] || $context['data']['role'] === 'admin';
     * });
     * ```
     *
     * This method will correctly detect empty file uploads and date/time/datetime fields.
     *
     * Because this and `notEmpty()` modify the same internal state, the last
     * method called will take precedence.
     *
     * @deprecated 3.7.0 Use allowEmptyString(), allowEmptyArray(), allowEmptyFile(),
     *   allowEmptyDate(), allowEmptyTime() or allowEmptyDateTime() instead.
     * @param string|array $field the name of the field or a list of fields
     * @param bool|string|callable $when Indicates when the field is allowed to be empty
     * Valid values are true (always), 'create', 'update'. If a callable is passed then

/**
     * Low-level method to indicate that a field can be empty.
     *
     * This method should generally not be used and instead you should
     * use:
     *
     * - `allowEmptyString()`
     * - `allowEmptyArray()`
     * - `allowEmptyFile()`
     * - `allowEmptyDate()`
     * - `allowEmptyDatetime()`
     * - `allowEmptyTime()`
     *
     * Should be used as their APIs are simpler to operate and read.
     *
     * You can also set flags, when and message for all passed fields, the individual
     * setting takes precedence over group settings.
     *
     * ### Example:
     *
     * ```
     * // Email can be empty
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('email', Validator::EMPTY_STRING);
     *
     * // Email can be empty on create
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('email', Validator::EMPTY_STRING, 'create');
     *
     * // Email can be empty on update
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('email', Validator::EMPTY_STRING, 'update');
     * ```
     *
     * It is possible to conditionally allow emptiness on a field by passing a callback
     * as a second argument. The callback will receive the validation context array as
     * argument:
     *
     * ```
     * $validator->allowEmpty('email', Validator::EMPTY_STRING, function ($context) {
     *   return !$context['newRecord'] || $context['data']['role'] === 'admin';
     * });
     * ```
     *
     * If you want to allow other kind of empty data on a field, you need to pass other
     * flags:
     *
     * ```
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('photo', Validator::EMPTY_FILE);
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('published', Validator::EMPTY_STRING | Validator::EMPTY_DATE | Validator::EMPTY_TIME);
     * $validator->allowEmptyFor('items', Validator::EMPTY_STRING | Validator::EMPTY_ARRAY);
     * ```
     *
     * You can also use convenience wrappers of this method. The following calls are the
     * same as above:
     *
     * ```
     * $validator->allowEmptyFile('photo');
     * $validator->allowEmptyDateTime('published');
     * $validator->allowEmptyArray('items');
     * ```
     *
     * @param string $field The name of the field.
     * @param int|null $flags A bitmask of EMPTY_* flags which specify what is empty
     * @param bool|string|callable $when Indicates when the field is allowed to be empty
     * Valid values are true, false, 'create', 'update'. If a callable is passed then
     * the field will allowed to be empty only when the callback returns true.
