[development] Hidden required select field with default value

[Idan Arbel]

thanks but I’m not sure #access is what I need:

 

this is and edit form, a long form with multiple field groups.

 

If the user access the site in with profile/2/edit/company

I’d like to hide all field groups instead of those in the company field group, but have them keep their pre-entered values.

 

Doesn’t access deny access to the field?

 

I don’t mind  changing the required to FALSE since I’m hiding the field anyway…

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.

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.
