Hi Sean,
Dialog validation in 3.x is *very* limited, and you've found the
limits of it. Please report this in Jira, if you don't find other
validation related issues in there; the validation process should be
completely reviewed with the new gui, so there's a good chance it will
be a least customizable ;)

Hi folks,
In order to better support our limited-sight users, we're
rejiggering our
dialogs to require ALT attributes on images wherever possible.
We have a paragraph based on the Sample Text-Image one that comes with
Magnolia. We've having a problem implementing this behavior here
because the
ALT field should only be required if someone has actually uploaded
an image
-- there's no point in requiring ALT text if there's no place to put
it!
Unfortunately, from what I see in DialogControlImpl.java, it appears
that
only simple booleans are supported for whether or not a field should
be
validated. (Though apparently one can do Regular Expression matching
on the
contents of a field too, which I hadn't known about before -- nifty!)
Anyway, is there any way to make whether a field is required
dependent on
whether another field is filled? Or would we pretty much have to
create that
from scratch and customize the magnolia-gui module to do something
like
this?
Thanks for any info!
Sean
