I appreciate the new "show_if" attribute for Fields but I wonder if its action could be enhanced by one change...
When I have a form with optional fields, I would like to set a validator on the field's value should it be supplied. I can always set it to IS_EMPTY_OR(blah) but this isn't strictly correct for my validation. I want to REQUIRE this validation if the field is displayed, but I want the validation IGNORED if the field is not displayed. In fact, the validation should always be ignored if the field is empty, since the user will never even see the error if it should fail validation! This might be as simple as emptying out the "requires" attribute if the "show_if" causes the field to be visible. But I don't change core code -- I don't want the hassle of departing from the stock distro of web2py.
