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 <[email protected]> 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.
