Unexpected behaviour when combining `assign` + `refine`

[john-rodewald]

I have an object-shaped struct that was created with refine and a custom validation handler. I want to extend this struct with additional fields. If I use assign, my validation handler seems to be skipped. Is this intended behaviour? If so, what is the proper way to do this?

I've created a minimal example to illustrate the issue I'm facing.
