  Hello,
  
  I want to show required field only if condition is met. But even if condition is not met required field is still passed for validation. Any advice on how to work around this?
```
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'checkbox',
	'field' => 'alone',
	'label' => 'Alone?',
	'choices' => array(
		'yes' => 'Yes'
	)
));

piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'text',
	'field' => 'another_one',
	'required' => true,
	'conditions' => array(
		array(
			'field' => 'alone',
			'value' => 'yes'
		)
	)
));
```

  @tatamata– This is an issue with our required field and conditions. We are looking at ways to address this securely.

  Isn’t it possible to add a ‘required’ subparameter to the ‘conditions’ parameter? And if used it overides the ‘required’ parameter in the field declaration.
```
piklist('field', array(
		'type' => 'text'
		,'scope' => 'post_meta'
		,'field' => 'name'
		,'label' => __('Name')
		,'required' => true //void if used within conditions parameter
		,'conditions' => array(
			array(
				'field' => 'master-field'
				,'value' => 'yes'
				,'required' => true
			)
		)
	));
```

  @fritsgarrer– Welcome to the Piklist community!
  
  required does not go in the conditions array. This is still an issue. However, a work around might be to put your fields under different tabs in a WorkFlow. You can easily wrap the field in a standard PHP conditional that way.

  Unfortunately workflows is not a possibility for my use.
  
  Can you tell me why you choose not to put the possibility of “required” into the conditions array? I personally don’t see why it would be a bad thing. But maybe I’m thinking the wrong way for a sollution.
  
  btw what I forgot to say in my last post: Piklist is in my opinion the “one plugin to rule them all”. Where I used to have about 12 plugins I now only use Piklist and Yoast.

  @fritsgarrer– It’s not that we choose not to, it’s just that we haven’t implemented yet. Currently, we are working on getting our unit tests complete and getting Piklist to v1.0. We want to implement this, but it’s a feature request, and we are holding off on feature requests until v1.0.
