Requiring text field 1 or 2, but both can be filled out.

Hello All,

 

Currently trying to prepare a new hire form that would be asking to enter their bank account numbers for their paycheck. I'm wanting to require them to fill out at least 1 of 2 fields asking for either their checking or savings number but the company allows them to deposit a percentage into each account if they wish so to be able to fill out both text fields optionally. Just wondering how I could go about requiring either field, but allowing the option to fill out both. Thanks!

Let's say the fields are called "Account1" and "Account2". Add the following code to the custom Calculation event of the first one:

 

var otherField = this.getField("Account2");
if (event.value=="") {
	if (otherField.valueAsString=="") {
		event.target.required = true; 
		otherField.required = true;
	} else event.target.required = false; 
} else {
	otherField.required = false;
}
