Can I change the Required state of a field conditionally in ConfiForms?

[Willy Case]

Hi,

I am working on a form in ConfiForms. I would like to add or remove certain entries conditionally, some of which I'd like to make required. Here's an example:

Entry1 - Dropdown - Yes / No - Required

Entry2 - Text

Entry3 - File

If Entry1 = Yes, show Entry2 and Entry3, and make them required.

If Entry1 = No, hide Entry2 and Entry3 and make them not required.

Right now, I'm able to hide/show the entries no problem, but if I make Entry2 and Entry3 required, then when you hide them you can't submit the form, because they are empty.

I can't seem to figure out how to make them not required (if it's possible).

I could also set them to default values, but I can't seem to get that to work for a file entry box.

Any suggestions?

You can achieve the same effect by adding two rules (two Confiforms Rules for Field Definition macros) ... one to Show/Hide the second field, and the other to make it required.

For the second macro, the Action to execute would be Validation rule, and rule itself would simply be .+ (any non-empty value).

Hi Willy - just curious if you were ever able to figure this out? I have the a similar issue I am looking to solve.

Unfortunately I did not find an exact solution. I ended up making the potentially hidden fields as not required for now until I can find a better option.

Aw bummer! Well I will update if I find a solution. I think this could be a very helpful feature.
