Dialog field Mandatory when visible through dropdown. [AEM as cloud]

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

we have show hide dropdown and in both fileds we have one filed ie alt text field is mandatory, since author will select the one field they have to provide alt for the selected one.

But dialog is not closing until we provide values to both alt text

 

Scenario: 

I have a show-hide dropdown, in which two values are there and by selecting any value we are doing show hide field based on selection.

Now for each field we have one mandatory field.
for example in dropdown we have value [External and Static Content], on selection of external we have some filed that are Mandatory and same for Static Content.

But Since we are not required to put any value for other dropdown value. But it is not allowing me to close the dialog.

 

I came across one solution where we need to write a custom JS

 

 

$("name='./<your field name>'").attr("aria-required", "true");

 

 

 

here the dialog in which I am working on and not able to resolve the problem.

Create a Component "test"-- >  /apps/project/components/test/cq:dialog
