Hi there,

I'm using a CRED form to let website visitors submit a form. We have two versions of the form: a public form (for the public) and a private form (for internal stakeholders, and password-protected). They share most of the same fields but have a couple of differences. I'm using the cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form hook to dynamically make a few fields required. Can I make certain fields on the public form required and certain other fields on the private form required? If so, how?

Thank you!

Saul

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As shared with the previous ticket there are two methods you can use "cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form " using which you can set few fields dynamically required.

So to identify the form ID we can use the following method within the "cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form" hook.

add_filter('cred_filter_field_before_add_to_form', 'required_fields_func', 10, 1);
function required_fields_func($field){
    
   
        $form_html_id = $field['form_html_id']; 
      
      if ( isset($form_html_id) ) {
        $parts = explode( '_', $form_html_id);
        $form_id = (int) $parts[2];
    }

      if($orm_id == 9999){
                               if(in_array($field['id'], array('new-single-line'))){
                                                    $required = array('required' => array(
                                                                                        'active' => 1,
                                                                                           'value' => true,
                                                                                               'message' => "This field is required."
                                                                                        	));
                                                  $field['data']['validate'] =  $required;
                               }

      }else   if($orm_id == 1111){
                            if(in_array($field['id'], array('another-field-slug'))){
                                                    $required = array('required' => array(
                                                                                        'active' => 1,
                                                                                           'value' => true,
                                                                                               'message' => "This field is required."
                                                                                        	));
                                                  $field['data']['validate'] =  $required;
                               }

      }
      
    return $field;
}

I hope this helps to resolve your issue.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank, Minesh!
