Remove required field based on other field value

Question

Hi All,

I'm looking to see if my script can be improved for the following needs, I have a single choice drop down (yes, no). When 'No' is selected, I need to remove all of the required fields listed in the script.

When I first created this, it worked, but for some odd reason it's no longer working.  Could someone look over my script and tell me if there is something that sounds out as not functioning?

Thanks!

def textField = getFieldByName("File Submitted Date")def textField1 = getFieldByName("Requested Date of Transfer")def textField2 = getFieldByName("Media to Client")def textField3 = getFieldByName("Tran 119")def textField4 = getFieldByName("Is a TLP required")def textField5 = getFieldByName("Should TLP fees be billed to the client")def textField6 = getFieldByName("Does the client need Tax amounts for these loans?")def textField7 = getFieldByName("Change Contract Service_Type")def textField8 = getFieldByName("Do you need TPS Recon?")def textField9 = getFieldByName("Do you need a WI options listing")def textField10 = getFieldByName("Is a bene fee to be charged")def textField11 = getFieldByName("Fee Type(s) Change Needed?")def selectList = getFieldByName("Will there be a BENE final?")
def selectListValue = selectList.getValue()
if (selectListValue == "No") {textField.setRequired(false)textField1.setRequired(false)textField2.setRequired(false)textField3.setRequired(false)textField4.setRequired(false)textField5.setRequired(false)textField6.setRequired(false)textField7.setRequired(false)textField8.setRequired(false)textField9.setRequired(false)textField10.setRequired(false)textField11.setRequired(false)} else {textField.setRequired(true)textField1.setRequired(true)textField2.setRequired(true)textField3.setRequired(true)textField4.setRequired(true)textField5.setRequired(true)textField6.setRequired(true)textField7.setRequired(true)textField8.setRequired(true)textField9.setRequired(true)textField10.setRequired(true)textField11.setRequired(true)}

Correct. The field must be optional in the field configuration if you want to use behaviour to conditionally make it visible/required or hidden/optional.

I see, currently the fields are set to required in the field configuration, would I need to remove the required fields from the field configuration so the behaviour you provided enables it properly?

PD Sheehan · Answer

For fields to be conditionally required using behaviour, they can't be required in other configurations.

Check the field configuration scheme and make sure the field is optional there.

Note that this is one of the downsides of behaviour. It only works on screens and requires the underlying API to open. So if you do this, the screen may show the field as required, but someone interacting with the API will be able to submit issues without that field. On the other hand, using the field config scheme to make a field required will also make it required via the api.
