Hi guys,

Adding some sample code illustrating Stewart and Richard's notes, which I agree with:

a!localVariables(
  local!date,
  local!assignee,

  a!formLayout(
    label: "Conditional Required Fields",
    contents: {
      a!columnsLayout(
        columns: {
          a!columnLayout(),
          a!columnLayout(
            contents: {
              a!sideBySideLayout(
                items: {
                  a!sideBySideItem(
                    item: a!dateField(
                      label: "Date",
                      value: local!date,
                      saveInto: local!date,
                      required: not(rule!APN_isEmpty(local!assignee))
                    )
                  ),
                  a!sideBySideItem(
                    item: a!pickerFieldUsers(
                      label: "Assignee",
                      value: local!assignee,
                      saveInto: local!assignee
                    )
                  )
                }
              )
            }
          ),
          a!columnLayout()
        }
      )
    },
    buttons: a!buttonLayout(
      primaryButtons: {
        a!buttonWidget(
          label: "Submit",
          validate: true,
          submit: true
        )
      }
    )
  )
)

additional info: that this "required" parameter of an UI component is working properly you need to have a buttonwidget with the parameter "submit : true" or at least if the button parameter "submit" is false or not filled (default value is false) the paramater "validate" needs to be "true".

Every User Interface input component has a "required" attribute. You can set this using a rule, and you can make the rule examine the value of the assignee field. Your rule can simply check if the assignee's value is null:
