change from "User Entered - Required" to "User-entered - Optional"

[mhw]

Hello, I am developing a form in which, depending on the scenario (i.e. content of some fields), some other fields should switch from "User Entered - Optional" to "User-entered - Required", and back  from "User Entered - Required" to "User-entered - Optional".

I could render a field mandatory (i.e. User Entered - Required) using the script 

AnyField.mandatory = "error";

However, I can't find how to to reverse back to "User-entered - Optional".

Would you know how to do it ? ... or where I should look for it?

Thx

Have you tried it woth "optional" if null or not null? Or may need to use an oncexot if condition on enter / reenter

apparently, the following seems to be doing the trick.

     TextField1.mandatory = "";

Good stuff. I found using ifs / nots null or """ etc. Work well for the types of fields you are working with. Sometimes they need to go on exit or enter events to trigger.

The actual value to set is "disabled" which is the default and that is why setting that attribute to an empty string has the same effect. A simple method (when you don't feel like RTFM) to learn these values is to create a script that displays the value at run-time (e.g. on a button click):

app.alert("mandatory: " + TextField1.mandatory);
