dependencies and required interaction

General information

• json-editor version: 2.4.0

(This is an enhancement request)

Expected behavior

Fields whose dependency is not met (and thus are hidden) do not trigger required during form validation.

Actual behavior

A hidden input will stop a form from submitting because it has no value. I understand why this doesn’t happen right now, because the element is just set to display: none;. Maybe it would be nice to have a way to set the options parameter based on whether or not the dependency is met?

Steps to reproduce the behavior

value_x: {
       title: 'value_x',
       type: 'boolean',
       format: 'checkbox',
},
value_y: {
       title: 'value_y',
       type: 'string',
       format: 'date',
       options: {
         inputAttributes: {
           required: true,
         },
         dependencies: {
           value_x: true,
         },
       },
},

On the topic of dependencies, it would also be nice to be able to “clear” the value of the dependent field when the dependency is lost. In the above example, when value_x is set to false, value_y should be able to be set back to ""

@rupebac Please open a new issue with an example schema, actually we have several tests running with required_by_default: true.

hello, I have opened a ticket here:
