Using Jira/JSM forms, make a field required/not required based on previous selections

Question

I have used Jira/JSM forms for a while now to build request forms. My users love how I can build forms based on the users selections. However, I ran into a new request today. Someone wants a field to be required or not required (but displayed either way) based on previous selections. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Scenario:

Field A - drop down with yes/no

Field B - open text

If the user selects yes in Field A, then Field B is required. If the user selects no in Field A, Field B is still displayed, but not required.

Hi @Andis_ James

Indeed, you last comment can be a solution, but there is no real requirement anymore, so this can cause empty response on option "Yes".

Another idea that was proposed was to have a label on the form just above Field B that says "Field B is required" and will be displayed if the user selects Yes and not displayed if they select No. It doesn't actually require the user to put information in Field B. But, it does inform them that it's required.

Unfortunately, Field B is linked to a Jira field. This is an opportunity for Atlassian to improve their product. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
