# Hidden conditional required fields still trigger validation errors

 * We found a bug in UACF7’s Conditional Logic feature.
 * Setup: CF7 6.1.7 + UACF7 3.5.49, both latest versions.
 * Issue: fields inside a hidden [conditional] group (select and radio types) still
   trigger “required field” validation errors and block form submission, even though
   they are correctly hidden and listed in _uacf7_hidden_conditional_fields. This
   happens even with no duplicate field names and with the competing “Conditional
   Fields for Contact Form 7” plugin deactivated.
 * Your v3.5.0 changelog mentions fixing this exact issue for checkboxes (“Required
   Checkboxes Not Working with Hidden Conditional Fields”) — looks like select and
   radio fields have the same bug.
 * As a workaround we removed the required flag from affected fields, but that’s
   not a real fix. Happy to share the form export or site access to help reproduce.
