The problem, sir, lies not in your requiredif, but in your mask. When you say:
<var-value>^[A-Za-z -']+$</var-value> What you're literally saying is "A to Z, a to z, and space to '". What you want to say is: <var-value>^[A-Za-z\ \-\']+$</var-value> When I used the correct mask, everything worked correctly. (i.e., if patientId was blank, the other three fields were required and had to obey the mask. If patientId was not black, the other three could be.)
