    The patch did not work for me either -

    I have a set of four checkboxes that are supposed to control if a link field (url and text) need to be filled out. With all the boxes unchecked, all the link widgets are visible. When I start checking boxes the results are unpredictable.

    What did work was changing the controlling field from checkboxes to a pulldown.

    Thx
    Eric

    I'm having the same issue. It was working for me before. Now with alpha2 and drupal 9.5 it is no longer working.

    Hi, I am facing the same issue and came across this thread. I see there is also a dependency by Drupal core 🐛 HTML5 validation is preventing form submit and not fully accessible Needs work

    I applied #3 patch from here along with other patch from the Drupal core issue, but this is not working.
    Furthermore, I am also on Drupal core 9.5 and alpha2 version of module. I am curious to know what was the last Drupal core version for which this was working?

    @saurabh-2j17 I've tried your patch and the core patch and am not seeing a solution, but maybe because my setup is slightly different.

    I have a required radio button.
    When an option is selected, A required textbox should display.
    When the option is not selected, the required textbox is hidden but does not allow the form to be submitted.

    Also seeing this same behave for a checkbox which when selected should show a required address field.

    Still researching and trying to find a solution but wanted to post here and follow.

    Thanks!

    Alrighty so update here for anyone else who runs into this issue I hope it helps.

    I did not use these patches in the end it comes down to logic.

    Do not set required on the field itself. Use the conditional logic to set required!

    For example
    (checkbox) Yes / No
    Do you like Pizza?
    If Yes, Show text field
    If Yes, Make text field required.

    For Address fields, I'm still working on a resolution, looking like some type of custom JS.

    On Drupal 10.2 with Claro or Gin themes, when the checkbox is first clicked nothing happens, when it is clicked a second time the dependent field appears, and with each subsequent click the field disappears and appears correctly. It is only the very first click that does not work.

    Thanks for the report and the efforts in here +1

    Removed tag. Before adding tags read the issue tag guidelines . Do NOT use tags for adding random keywords or duplicating any other fields. Separate terms with a comma, not a space.

    At the moment maintainers cannot reproduce this issue, tested with default Drupal 10.2 core and Claro setup (watch screen-cast). Please provide more reports and a screen-cast showing setup, themes and modules installed, so that we can make sure that this is really caused by CF.

    Note: It makes a difference if the image field was set as required by default or not before, or if the checkbox has been checked already before or not for testing. To be able to turn off the required mode is already an issue because this is not working at the moment for good reasons. Therefor please follow: 🐛 URL validation of link field doesn't work Fixed or 📌 Support field turning hidden by condition to loose its required status Needs work .
