Require Field if Displayed

I have a Select field and then a follow-up Number that shows only if option 1 is selected in the Select. I'm trying to make the Number field required only if it is displayed. I've tried a few ways of writing the validation, but I can't figure out how to get it to require the Number. What I have right now:

select_field==0 || (select_field==1 && number_field>0)

I can get it to work with a Text field by saying number_field.length>0, but the same doesn't seem to work for Numbers.

Alternately is there a way to dynamically change the required property, rather than looking at the value of the number field?

  Hi Dan, any field that is not displayed on the form will not be required. Required only applies to the fields that show up on the form. So it is not necessary to have extra validation to the number field. Let me know if that makes sense to you!

  Hi dan
  Can you not just put the number field as required? Then set it’s conditional to select_field==1.

  That would say that the number field is now true so it can’t continue if it’s false.

  As penny said if you set a conditional on a required field it only shows when that is true, otherwise it doesn’t show so it’s not active

  That makes sense, thanks! I was making it more complicated than it needs to be.

  You’d be surprised how often I do that to mate good luck with your project :)
