 * Hi there,
    I’ve read through similar posts that say it’s possible to have conditional
   fields be required and have forms be sent through even if it’s hidden.
 * But no matter what I do, it seems that hidden conditional fields that are required
   still blocks the form from sending through for some reason.
 * For example, I have two conditional groups of which only one will display depending
   on the selection. Both are required fields. It blocks the form from being sent
   through even if one is hidden.

 * Could you check with the previous version of CF7 (5.3.2) ? (check sticky post
   for instructions)
 * There’s currently a conflict with CF7 5.4

 * Will do! Thanks for letting me know! Very much appreciated and I will update 
   here shortly in case anyone else has the same issue.
 * EDIT: in case anyone has the same issue and comes across this, rolling back contact
   form 7 version solved this.

 * I confirm! With the update of CF7, even in my forms where there is the conditional
   group with mandatory “attach file” in the group not chosen. Blocks me from submitting
   the form
