Hi,

At the moment the NEXT button on my screen navigates to a different screen if both radios (questions) are not blank.

However what I'm trying to do is if radio1 and radio2 are not selected then the textinput field that is not visible - doesn't need to be required to navigate to another screen.

I managed to get a field to be visible when selected value from radio if 'other' is selected. This was the code for the visible part on the textinput :

If(Radio2.Selected.Value="Other", true, false)

On displaymode for my button my code is:

If(!IsBlank(Radio1.Selected) && !IsBlank(Radio2.Selected), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)

On selected of my button is:

Navigate(Screen2,ScreenTransition.Fade)

But how can I make the textinput field required only when it is only visible when 'other' is selected on radio2, to navigate to a different screen?

You cannot make a control required. You can do a work around though.

What I do is add a 5 point star icon ( 10 x 10 ), color: red. I add it to the left of the 'required' control and set it's visible property to IsBlank(controlName).

So in your case, you would set your visible property for your icon to IsBlank(Textcontrol) && Radio2.Selected = "Other"

Then set the displayMode property of your button to this:

If( Star.Visible, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit )

Thank you for your input. I have found an alternative solution that managed to make the control required. by using If Else structure. This is seen on the code below.

TextInput

Visible

If(Radio2.Selected.Value="Other", true, false)
Button:

DisplayMode

I

(If(
Radio2.Selected.Value = "Other",
If(
IsBlank(TextInput4),
DisplayMode.Disabled,
DisplayMode.Edit
),
If(
!IsBlank(Radio2.Selected) && !IsBlank(Radio1.Selected),
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.Disabled
)
))

OnSelect

Navigate(Screen2,ScreenTransition.Fade)

If anyone else has an optimized version of this code, please let me know.

I think this is more concise. See if it works

If( Or( Radio2.Selected.Value<>"Other", !IsBlank(Radio2.Selected.Value) ) && !IsBlank(Radio1.Selected.Value), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )
