From our own experience, this could probably be done with the ECA Form sub-module by setting the states attributes accordingly. But we don't really recommend it and don't use it ourselves.
Compared to the UI of the conditional_fields module, this is so much more tailored towards the task to set conditions and states for fields in forms, that we encourage the usage of that module. We had thought about improved support for this in ECA, but that would mainly rebuild functionality, which is already there so that there is no reason to do so.

Looks like we need some clarification on the current state of ECA components. Created a follow-up for that: 🌱 Offering to maintain eca_form within its own contrib project Closed: works as designed

Thank you @jurgenhaas for the clarification. conditional_fields sure does a good job and it is quite mature, I am continuing with it.

I'm sorry that the Condition Field module is not replaced by ECA, because what I was able to do with ECA so far worked beautifully, quickly and without errors, but the Conditional Field module was not flawless even in D7, and it was always an alpha version, it often works incorrectly and many options are no longer in it, and apparently its developers don't care much about it. And the feature that allows you to enter a given value into another field depending on the value of a field doesn't work. It's there, but it doesn't work. I tried to do this with ECA, with the Form submodule.
Obviously, doing this with ECA would be more resource-intensive, so I understand, but it would have been nice to replace as many modules as possible with ECA.- 🇩🇪Germany jurgenhaas Gottmadingen
This is an issue that has been closed for 2 years. In the meantime, a lot has changed, and most of what the conditional_fields module is doing can now be done with the states support for form fields in ECA. But PLEASE: not in closed issues.
