[SOLVED] Hidden Fields that in some cases are required. was created by AlexRag
I have a use case question.
I have a field item that depending on Yes/No will display a second yes/no field item.
eg.
1. Would you like to join a committee? Y/N
2. Would you also like to lead the committee? Y/N. (Hidden if #1 is No)
I used CB Conditionals to hide the second question if the first answer was No. However, if the answer is Yes Question # 2 must also be answered (required).
If I set the second to required and thus never revealed since the first answer was No, will the registration form submit work?
If not would I be better off prepopulating the answer to Question 2 to No so it contains an answer?
Thanks!

CB Conditional can't make something required. So you'd either have to make your second field required for everyone or make a 3rd field that is required and take into account whatever the other condition is that would constitute it sometimes being required.
As for hiding a required field CB Conditional will suppress all of its validation so that's not a problem.

I think this is what I was looking for. To confirm, If question #2 is hidden (By CB Conditionals), it ignore the "required" setting in the field.

Correct. All validation will be ignored for the field if hidden by CB Conditionals.To confirm, If question #2 is hidden (By CB Conditionals), it ignore the "required" setting in the field.
