Set text field as required entry based on dropdown

Help 

Am new to PDF scripting and I have a form which has a field called "New or Uplift" 

 

I currently have the script to :

If Uplift is selected a hidden field "Text8" then appears for free text to be entered.

If New is selected the hidden field stays hidden

and then the form is submitted via email as long as all the required fields are completed

 

I am trying to do a script and struggling where if Uplift is selected then the hidden field "Text8" converts to a required field and if "New" is selected then the hidden field stays as not required ?

    As validate script of dropdown ("New or Uplift") field, use this:

    this.getField("Text8").required = (event.value == "Uplift") ? true : false;
