Thanks, everyone! The validation group works. It's been over a year since I last worked with Appian, so I'm relearning and brushing up on it.

If you only have 1 required field, you could simply set validate to false on the approve button. Otherwise, if you have other required fields on your interface you could use validation groups like Stefan mentioned.

a!localVariables(
  local!action,
  local!otherField,
  local!comment,
  {
    a!textField(
      label: "Any other required Field",
      value: local!otherField,
      saveInto: local!otherField,
      required: true
    ),
    a!textField(
      label: "Comment",
      value: local!comment,
      saveInto: local!comment,
      required: true,
      validationGroup: "REJECT"
    ),
    a!buttonArrayLayout(
      buttons: {
        a!buttonWidget(
          label: "Reject",
          style: "OUTLINE",
          value: "REJECT",
          saveInto: local!action,
          submit: true,
          validate: true,
          validationGroup: "REJECT"
        ),
        a!buttonWidget(
          label: "Approve",
          style: "SOLID",
          value: "APPROVE",
          saveInto: local!action,
          submit: true,
          validate: true,
          validationGroup: "APPROVE"
        )
      }
    )
  }
)

As suggested by Stefan Helzle , take a look at the validation group parameter. Also, I am seeing that you are using ri!cancel for required parameter of comments field. Are you initializing the rule input cancel to be true anywhere? Otherwise it wont work, because the moment you click on cancel button, the form will complete and you wont be able to see the validation. You have to set validate parameter to true if you want validations to be shown

Did you had a look at validation groups?
