Form - Required field depends on another field

Joel Dahlin asked on June 3, 2014 12:45

I have a Contact form that I have created. I have a zipcode field that when they enter it I do a lookup on that zipcode to determine if another field should be displayed or not. I am taking advantage of the "Has depending fields", "Depends on another field" field properties. This is working great. Now, I want to make that field that depends on another field required only when visible. If I set the field to be required it doesn't pass validation if nothing is populated even though the field isn't visible.

Is it possible to achieve this using the built-in form fields or am I going to have to create a custom form control?

Hello,

please mark that field to not be required and then set the validation regular expression to some expression to fit your needs. For simple required field you can use .+ since the field gets validated only if it's visible.

Best regards, Jan Hermann
