It could be prettier, but it worked for my needs. </p> <p>I had a number of radio button fields, and some followup questions were only required if the initial question was a specific value. So, a sample Initial question would look like this:</p> <p>1. Were you happy with the product you received?*</p> <p> - Yes<br /> - No</p> <p>and a follow up question such as:</p> <p>2. If you said "No", why was that?</p> <p> - Poor quality<br /> - Have another I like better<br /> - None of your business!</p> <p>So, here's how I solved it. Note, I did not have ajax enabled for these forms, so you'd probably need to do some more to get the fields to be valid using ajax. First some javascript:</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/ZfJgrXPx" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ZfJgrXPx</a></p> <p>and the PHP:</p> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/qhepD4be" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/qhepD4be</a></p> <p>Hopefully that helps someone out. I've commented both files, but let me know if you need more help. If anyone wants to improve upon either script, that'd be great. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-a-field-required-or-not-depending-on-a-condition#post-54148 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:38:30 +0000 kyle 54148@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm actually searching for this functionality too. I know you can conditionally remove/add a field based on an answer - so you could have two identical fields - one that is required, and one that isn't, and show/hide the field depending on the condition. </p> <p>I'm hoping I can find/create a better solution.</p> <p>Anyone have a reference to something like this, or a good head start on how to accomplish it using some Javascript and PHP? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-a-field-required-or-not-depending-on-a-condition#post-53766 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:49:23 +0000 webfly 53766@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I know with "Enable Conditional Logic" I can remove it from the form, but I don't want it removed, I still want it there, just not required. </p>
