How to use conditional validation

[girish]

I want to check that certain fields are not blank only for tickets with type enhancement. Can you explain how to do this in trac.ini ?. I tried using the example you have given, nbut it's not working for me.

Please post the [ticket-custom] configuration you tried.

[ticket-custom]
keywords.invalid_if = 
keywords.invalid_when_type = enhancement

I get an error message even if ticket type is defect or anything else. I want keyword field mandatory only for ticket type enhancement.

Please let me know how to do this

• Did you install from the dynamicfieldsplugin/0.11​ or dynamicfieldsplugin/0.12​ branch?
• Which Trac release are you running?
• What plugins do you have installed?
• If you view the page source (CTRL + U in firefox), do you find dynfields.js, layout.js and rules.js?

I tested the 0.11 and 0.12 branches with Trac 1.0.2beta1. The configuration you posted in comment:2 works on the 0.11 branch, but not the 0.12 branch. I will try to the issue fixed on the 0.12 branch soon.

The ValidateRule was added in [10662] and the invalid_when option was added in [11565]. These changesets were added to the 0.11 branch and haven't been merged to the 0.12 branch. I suggest using the 0.11 branch with all version of Trac >= 0.11 for now.

Since the 0.12 branch hasn't been maintained, we should probably just make a new 0.12 branch based on the current HEAD of 0.11, and backport the differences from the existing 0.12 branch.

Thanks. I will follow your suggestions and let you know if it is working

See #12112, and please reopen if you continue to have trouble when installing from the 0.11 branch.
