Base Conditional Field on Prepopulated Dropdown Selection

[jerkski]

Hello, I have a dropdown field that pulls its options from Mysql using a custom function. In that list, mysql returns an option value of ‘OTHER’. I am trying to create a text field that conditionally appears and is required anytime someone chooses ‘OTHER’ in the prepopulated dropdown, but am unable to do so since the options are not defined in the backend of Quform. Therefore they do not show up in the conditional field settings. How can I set the conditional in a function?

I am using Quform v1.82

I tried a variation of the jQuery you have on this link, but it did not work. (https://support.themecatcher.net/quform-wordpress/guides/advanced/submit-button-conditional-logic)

<script>
    jQuery(function ($) {
        $('.iphorm_1_1').change(function () {
            if ($(this).val() == 'OTHER') {
                $('.iphorm_1_2').show();
            } else {
                $('.iphorm_1_2').hide();
            }
        }).change();
    });
</script>

Thoughts?

Hi Ally, thank you for the quick response, Yes, I do need the hidden field to be required if visible.

Ally, is it possible to set the required function within the script as you’ve written?

<script>
    jQuery(function ($) {
        $('.iphorm_1_1').change(function () {
            if ($(this).val() == 'OTHER') {
                $('.iphorm_1_2').closest('.iphorm-element-wrap').show();
//set to required here
            } else {
                $('.iphorm_1_2').closest('.iphorm-element-wrap').hide();
//unset required here
            }
        }).change();
    });
</script>
