well, I don't see how required can help me... what I want is to make a
remote call/check ONLY under certain circumstances. Plus, this field
is "constantly"-required already anyway...
actually, now I think there might be various workarounds, e.g.
creating a custom method, which would check the condition first and
then making an AJAX call manually only if needed...
