6 years ago I guess one workaround would be to add $form->setAttribute('novalidate', true);.
That might need to be part of the fix too - I don’t see how else we can solve this without removing the required attribute from fields...

Description
Setting the required fields validator, then turning off validation for a action does not work.
The apparent reason is that 'RequiredFields' is implemented by writing 'required="required" into the HTML attributes of the fields. Thus the exemption from validation never gets a chance.
So it is not possible to have required fields and have a cancel button.
The solution is to have a separate form for the cancel button. Very infradig! For visual issues, please include browser version and screenshots. Please read https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/contributing/issues_and_bugs/
Steps to Reproduce
Create a form whith required fields and a cancel button. Call validationExempt(true) on the cancel button. It will not work
