Conditionally disabling field (or conditional required)

Kirby 3 Questions 🤔

Is it somehow possible to disable (or toggle required) a field when another field is empty.

I have a field for a link text, and I only want to require an url, if that text field is filled out…

I would assume something like this, bit it just throws an error

textTopRight:
  label: Text Top (right)
  type: text
  width: 1/2
linkTopRight:
  label: Link Top (right)
  type: url
  width: 1/2
  required:
    when:
      textTopRight: true

A when property for field properties does not exist. With when you can show or hide fields based on conditions of other fields.

Oh I thought it was possible like that as well, based on this post: Required fields in conditional field context - #7 by texnixe

Any other solution?

I also tried this, but it didnt work

required: textTopRight
//or
required: textTopRight.isNotEmpty()

linkTopRight:
  label: Link Top (right)
  type: url
  width: 1/2
  required: true
  when:
    textTopRight: true

This would work if the textTopRight field was a toggle field. There is no way to check if a text field is filled or not though and that’s the problem.
