Description

If the validator has some condition (:if => $smt, :unless => $smt) we shouldn't mark the field as required. In this case we simply can't tell without AJAX call because validity may depend on another field of the form. Btw there was a project translating AR validations to javascript (client side validations) but IIRC it's discontinued. Also it was quite big thing.

Fixes #7450 - do not mark non-required fields

If validation is conditional we don't mark fields as required by
default. Also fixes disabling by override using :required option.

Do you have an example field where this is wrong? There's an override option which can be passed into the form helper to disable it, we just need to know which field(s) require it :)

#3 Updated by Marek Hulán over 8 years ago

I'm afraid we can just enforce required to be true. Looking to the code I see

required_mark = ' *' if is_required?(f, attr) || options[:required]

see https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/helpers/layout_helper.rb#L153 and https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/helpers/layout_helper.rb#L167 for more details.

I have no existing example since it's in form I'm currently working on for bonding.

something like

<%= text_f f, :attached_to, :help_inline => _("Identifier of the interface to which this interface belongs, e.g. eth1") %>

adding :required => false does not help obviously since is_required?(f, attr) is always true

#4 Updated by Dominic Cleal over 8 years ago

Indeed, that should use options[:required] unless it's nil, and only then fall back to is_required.

#5 Updated by Marek Hulán over 8 years ago

Yup, will send a PR shortly. I thought it would be also useful to make is_required? aware of conditions and if some is present, return false (probably makes sense in most cases?). Thoughts?

Sounds good!
