Can I make fields required only if a boolean is set to true? Trying to set all fields to required if the banner is enabled.

defineField({
      title: "Enable cookie banner",
      name: "cookie_banner_enabled",
      type: "boolean",
      group: "cookies"
    }),
    defineField({
      title: "Cookie banner title",
      description: "The title of the cookie banner",
      name: "cookie_banner_title",
      type: "string",
      group: "cookies",
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled
    }),
    defineField({
      title: "Cookie banner button text",
      description: "The text of the cookie banner button if empty defaults to 'Accepteren'",
      name: "cookie_banner_button_text",
      type: "string",
      group: "cookies",
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled
    }),
    defineField({
      title: "Privacy Policy link text",
      description: "The privacy policy link text if empty defaults to 'Privacy Policy'",
      name: "privacy_link_text",
      type: "string",
      group: "cookies",
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled
    }),
    defineField({
      title: "Privacy Policy URL",
      description: "The URL to your privacy policy page.",
      name: "privacy_url",
      type: "reference",
      group: "cookies",
      to: [{ type: "page" }],
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled
    }),

            validation: (Rule) => Rule.custom((value, context) => {
                if (context.parent.externalLink) {
                    return true
                }

                if (!value) return "This field is required"

                return true
            }),

If sibling externalLink is false, this field is required

On what field should this validation go? Thank you for the help

Write it in the same way as the "hidden" property

defineField({
      title: "Cookie banner title",
      description: "The title of the cookie banner",
      name: "cookie_banner_title",
      type: "string",
      group: "cookies",
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled,
      validation: (Rule) =>
        Rule.custom((value, context) => {
          if (value && context?.document?.cookie_banner_enabled) {
            return true
          }

          if (!value) return "This field is required"

          return true
        })
    }),
Like so?

I think you can remove the first
value &&
?

But yes that looks good

defineField({
      title: "Cookie banner title",
      description: "The title of the cookie banner",
      name: "cookie_banner_title",
      type: "string",
      group: "cookies",
      hidden: ({ document }) => !document?.cookie_banner_enabled,
      validation: (Rule) =>
        Rule.custom((value, context) => {
          if (context?.document?.cookie_banner_enabled && !value) {
            return "Cookie banner title is required"
          }

          return true
        })
    }),
This seems to work when boolean is checked. Thanks!
