I think you have to make your own validation function instead of using the one that comes by default and supports #required. Use #access (not #hidden) to hide the field. Then in your validator, check to see whether it's OK that the field is not filled in, and notify as needed. -Randy On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 8:50 AM, Idan Arbel <idan@arbel-designs.com> wrote:
When setting the #type = hidden****
The field is hidden, but when trying to submit the form I get an error about the fields being required.****
Looking at the $form dump, I see that the select field has a default value. (a term id). ****
I tried changing the Required to false when hiding but then the field looses its value.****
