With Require-Not Require Actions, you can make it so when certain conditions are met on your page, the desired field(s) can then be required or not required.
For example, you can create an action where if someone selects a specific Fund on your page, a multiple choice field that is normally not required becomes required.
Pro Tip: Our actions automatically assume the inverse is true. For example, if you tell an action to require a field based on a certain condition, this field will be not required by default until that condition is met. Once the condition is met, the field will become required. Actions will override the default requirement settings that you set on the page builder.
For example, if your Donations field is required in the page builder, and you create an action to Require the Donations field after December 18 at 2:00PM, our system will automatically make the Donations field not required until December 18 at 2:01PM.
If you would like to require or not require your field at all times, no action is needed. In this case, we recommend changing the Required setting within the Page Builder itself.
Example Use Cases
