function views_ui_add_limited_validation($element, &$form_state) {
  // Retrieve the AJAX triggering element so we can determine its parents. (We
  // know it's at the same level of the complete form array as the submit
  // button, so all we have to do to find it is swap out the submit button's
  // last array parent.)

  // form be filled out properly yet.

  // If we are in the process of a form submission and this is the button that
  // was clicked, the form API workflow in form_builder() will have already
  // copied it to $form_state['triggering_element'] before our #process
  // function is run. So we need to make the same modifications in $form_state
  // as we did to the element itself, to ensure that #limit_validation_errors
  // will actually be set in the correct place.
