Hi

I set a non-required field in the backend.

But I want to use this field for both forms in the front end.

One form is not required, and the other form is required.

How to set it up?

Thank you

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can use Toolset forms hook cred cred_form_validate to validate the form.

For example:

add_filter('cred_form_validate','my_validation',10,2);
function my_validation($error_fields, $form_data)
{
    //field data are field values and errors
    list($fields,$errors)=$error_fields;
    //uncomment this if you want to print the field values
    //print_r($fields);
    //validate if specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==99999 )
    {
        //check my_field value
        if ($fields['wpcf-my_field']['value']!='correct_value')
        {
            //set error message for my_field
            $errors['wpcf-my_field']='Wrong Value';
        }
        //check if featured image exists
        if (empty($fields['_featured_image']['value']))
        {
            //set error message for featured image
            $errors['_featured_image'] = 'Missing featured image';
        }
    }
    //return result
    return array($fields,$errors);
}

Where:
- Replace 99999 with your original form ID.
- Adjust fields you want to validate within the if condition
