In the below code I have an form with 2 select fields that when checkbox either checked or unchecked shows up depending on the state ..
in the jQuery I set the attribute for required depending on the select field that is "active". My checkbox does not have required attribute set, actually I have actively tried to exclude it in the script as documentet for Parsley version >2.1, and setting $("#SystemMessageChk").attr('required', false) in both toggle modes, but no matter what I do it still validates the checkbox and not the active select when I check the box, and submit the form.
Anyone with an idea for a fix?
$(document).ready(function() {
$(function() {
$("#SystemMessageChk").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$("#MessageSystemDIV").show();
$("#MessageSpecificUserDIV").hide();
$("#MessageSystemType").attr('required', true);
$("#MessageReceipients1").attr('required', false)
$("#SystemMessageChk").attr('required', false)
} else {
$("#MessageSystemDIV").hide();
$("#MessageSpecificUserDIV").show();
$("#MessageSystemType").attr('required', false)
$("#MessageReceipients1").attr('required', true);
$("#SystemMessageChk").attr('required', false)
}
});
});
$('#MessageSystemType').selectpicker();
$('.js-example-basic-multiple').select2({
placeholder: 'Vælg modtager(e)...'
});

<textarea class="maxLength form-control" id="message-text" maxLength="250" required></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" form="MessageCenterForm" class="btn btn-primary">Send</button>The solution was to remove $("#SystemMessageChk").attr('required', false) and add $("#MessageReceipients-errors").html(""); to first toggle, in other words it was a matter of clearing the error text.
Working code is :
$( document ).ready(function() {
$(function () {
$("#SystemMessageChk").click(function () {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$("#MessageSystemDIV").show();
$("#MessageSpecificUserDIV").hide();
$("#MessageSystemType").attr('required',true);
$("#MessageReceipients1").attr('required',false);
$("#MessageReceipients-errors").html("");
} else {
$("#MessageSystemDIV").hide();
$("#MessageSpecificUserDIV").show();
$("#MessageSystemType").attr('required',false);
$("#MessageReceipients1").attr('required',true);
}
});
});
$('#MessageSystemType').selectpicker();
$('.js-example-basic-multiple').select2({
placeholder: 'Vælg modtager(e)...'
});
});
