Conditional Fields and Required attribute not working as intended

    I am using PMPRO with Register Helper add on, I have created a conditional field like this:

    $fields[] = new PMProRH_Field(
    'profession',
    'radio', // type of field
    	array(
        'options' =>
            array(
                'Judge' => 'Judge',
                'Attorney' => 'Attorney',
                'Social Worker' => 'Social Worker',
                'Attorney & Social Worker' => 'Attorney & Social Worker',
                'Other' => 'Other'
            ),
        'label'=>'Profession',
        'required'=>true,
	'profile'	=> true,
  	)
    );
	$fields[] = new PMProRH_Field(
            "other_profession",
             "textarea",
              array(
		"depends"=>array(array('id' => "profession", 'value' => "Other")),
		"label"=>"Please Specify Other",
		'profile'	=> true,
        ));

    so I need the dependent field(please specify other field) required only if the “other” option selected from the “Profession”. If I give ‘required’=>true to “other_profession”(Please Specify Other) this dependent field will be always be required, and even if I don’t select other option from “Profession” I get required field error when submit the form. Is there any option I am missing, or any work around?

    Hi @salihkulangara,

    Thank you for using Paid Memberships Pro.

    Please can you set the depends field to be optional. We are aware of this issue and will look into fixing this in the near future.

    You could write some JavaScript to make the field required if it’s displaying.

    I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.

    Hi,

    You could write some JavaScript to make the field required if it’s displaying.

    could you please give me a hint? how could we make a field required using js, because I could not see any special classes/atts added to required fields.

    thanks in advance

    You could add the HTML attribute “required” when showing the field with jQuery. You can remove the “Depends” code inside your custom fields and then write your own custom JavaScript to show/hide the field depending on the field selected.

    Here’s an example you may work from – https://gist.github.com/andrewlimaza/6c3ca0320cf318b5c58bf866e0fab3f5
