Bug - validation on update forms

[benaunt]

Hi,

I believe i have encountered a bug when applying conditional validation to an update form.

We have a requirement for a user to optionally fill in a mobile number. If the field has a value i want to apply a regex function to ensure its formatted correctly, if there is no value the field is not mandatory.

To do this I am using the condition menu on the field so that it applies a must match regex, if the field is not empty:

When doing this, and viewing an existing record. whenever i delete the data in the field it repopulates with the saved value as i click out of the field, so I cannot empty an existing record.

The form was created with a form block, then ejected but has no specific changes to how it loads data.

When I apply this conditional validation on the field in a create form, it works as expected.

See demo:

Hey @benaunt

I'm not able to reproduce this myself.

Why are you using conditional UI in this case? You can just add validation to the form field directly?
