   Hi,
   
   There is a field 'One' which is by default hidden. It is dependent on another field 'Two'. If users selects 'Two' as yes then 'One' will be shown else it will remain hidden. Field 'One' is a required field. But if it is hidden this requirement should not work but field requirement does not get disable when hidden and the form does not submit as the field is not filled.
   How to disable the field requirement if field gets hidden.

   Hello Syed,
   
   Firstly, the field must be client-side enabled. Otherwise, you will not be able to override this functionality.
   
   Second, there are two ways to accomplish what you're looking for once setting the field to client-side required. You can use the TPC API to either disable the field when hidden and enable it when you show it again or set and remove the requirement as well.
   
   ie.
   tpc.forms[0].field_developer_name.disable() / tpc.forms[0].field_developer_name.enable()
   tpc.forms[0].field_developer_name.required(true) / tpc.forms[0].field_developer_name.required(false)
   
   Let me know if you have any further questions on implementing the above.
