Field required based on another fields answer

PeterTimmers

I want to be able to make a field required based on the answer in another field.

e.g.  If a house has damage after a storm answer the damage type field.

You don't seem to be able to use calculations like:  ${House_Damaged} = 'Yes" in the required column like you can with relevant.

Is that correct?    We're collecting damage assessments and we have a whole bunch of fields that are only collected if the house is recorded as damaged.   We do collect non-damaged buildings around the edge of an event to show the edge of an event.

Hi Peter,

In the scenario you mention, you could use a combination of the required and relevant- if you have the ${House_Damaged} = "Yes" set for the relevant statement for the damage type, you can then set retired to 'yes' - this will cause the field to display and be required. Survey123 ignores the required condition when a question is not displayed (as it can't be filled out).
