CUSTOM POST WITH CMB2 – INITIAL NO FORM

    I have an interesting chicken and egg question. I have a set of repeatable fields within cmb2, talking to a independent table. WORKS WONDERFULLY!

    Just one hickup, when I create a new post AND if I have required fields within the cmb2 form, before I can publish the new post, I have to place some data within or the post is not published.

    How can I create the post with CBM2 and NOT have a form present, until the user clicks on “New Record”.

    Unfortunately that’s the nature of required fields. There is no concept of conditionally-required fields, so you would likely have to build that with some custom javascript, “if ‘New Record’ clicked, add required attributes to fields X, Y, and Z”.

    I wonder if some parts of this would work with this. https://github.com/jcchavezs/cmb2-conditionals Kind of the nature of input fields. Do display:none fields still trigger required validation checks?

    I will check that out and get back to you. It is certainly no problem with not required fields. I was just wondering if NO fields would be display initially.
