Tell us what you are trying to do? How can I make specific fields required based on a value in a different field?
For example:
IF field "Status": A > Make Fields #1 and #2 required.
IF field "Status": B > Make Fields #1, #2, #3, #4 required.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you for waiting.

It seems that chat was disconnected somehow, but I've moved this to a regular support ticket.

You can show/hide specific fields based on the selected value from another field, using conditional form blocks:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-display-for-form-inputs/

If a certain field is "required" but is wrapped inside a conditional block, it will automatically be treated as an "optional" field when it will be hidden.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

My issue is resolved now. I didn't realize that the dropdown field I was referencing had API numbers. I was mistakenly entering my dropdown options as opposed to 1,2,3,4 into the logic. The resource link in the "support" reply contained a video which addressed this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
