 * Hi,
    I have 2 required fields: – vat – insurance These fields are conditional
   to a parent required field drop down menu “choose one”.
 * So in checkout you have to choose with drop down menu VAT or INSURANCE. If you
   choose VAT insurance is hide.
    But fields are required so if you choose Vat you
   can’t proceed with order cause sistem ask you also insurance that is hide.
 * Is there a way for trasform in not required the field that you don’t choose from
   menu? Or another way to do that?
 * Thanks in advance

 * I have looked more at it, but still not sure how to manage it.
 * Solution should be like this:
 * When hidden:
    Hidden fields are NOT required. Hidden fields are forced blank (
   to prevent that data from auto-filled forms)
 * When visible:
    Fields are required.
 * I wrote with visser labs on facebook. They told me to write in here. Hope they
   will look at it soon.

   as soon as I figure it out 🙂
