Member	trheath@pilotcat.com - 9/12/2013 4:09:01 PM RE:Changing required field based on response Meant to point out I'm using the BizForms module


Member	kentico_sandroj - 9/12/2013 4:09:05 PM RE:Changing required field based on response Hello, That depends if you are referring to document types, bizforms, Web parts, etc. but it sounds like you are referring to BizForms which are covered in this KB article. Please let me know if you have any questions or additional details. Best Regards, Sandro


Member	trheath@pilotcat.com - 9/12/2013 4:19:59 PM RE:Changing required field based on response Hi Sandro, Thanks for the response. What I'm trying to accomplish is kind of hard to explain. Let's say I have 3 fields, by default they are all required. But let's say in Field 2 I select a certain option, I want to make field 3 optional now. I think that might make more sense. Thanks again, Tim

RE:Changing required field based on response

Hello,

Thank you for the additional clarification.

This is possible but it would have to be done in code using custom logic.

You would check what was entered as the value for field two then either save or throw an error, depending on the requirement for field 3.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Sandro
