This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Client has a front-end form which uses cred_show_group to conditionally display a group of fields depending on the value of another field, and would like the same on the backend post edit screen.
Solution:
Individual Types fields can be conditionally displayed on post edit screens (which is also inherited in frontend Forms) based upon the value of another field. To conditionally display a group of fields simply apply the same rule to each of the fields.

For this to work the same way in the back-end post edit screens as in front-end forms, you need to set up both the required-ness and conditional visibility in the settings for the custom fields.
You can remove the conditional display you have set up in your form.
Edit the fields. You have already set them all to required.
Add conditions for their display (as per my screenshot).
According to your example, each of fields 1-5 would depend on the alphabet field having a value of ABC.
These conditions will apply both to the front end and back end.
The "required" attribute will only be applied to visible fields.
