Problem/Motivation

When using the Conditional Form Fields functionality to alter form fields based on the status of other form fields, it could be useful to allow the addition and removal of CSS classes to target fields.

An example use case is to, using CSS, change the colour/appearance of one field based on the choice selected in another. Another is to make a field (including its wrapper and label) unclickable using CSS pointer-events and opacity values. The latter would not affect the field value being submitted/handled – which in the case of a select field, for example, can cause problems.

Proposed resolution

A patch is attached to add this functionality. It expects a #states value as follows, to toggle the 'class' values provided based on the provided logic:

// Test Field Three is given the classes 'TESTING' and 'TESTINGTWO' when Test Field One has the value 'One' selected.
$form['field_test_field_three']['#states'] = [
  'classes' => [
    'select[name="field_test_field_one"]' => [
      'value' => 'one',
    ],
    'class' => [
      'TESTING',
      'TESTINGTWO',
    ],
  ],
];
