Required and conditional fields for the CMS

We have identified a couple of improvements that would significantly enhance our workflow when building new blocks in the CMS.

1. Required Fields

It would be very helpful if certain fields within a block could be marked as required.
The expected behavior would be:

  • The user should not be able to save the block if any required field is empty.

  • The CMS should instead show a clear validation message, for example: "Field X is required."

This would help reduce mistakes and ensure that all necessary information is always provided.

2. Conditional Visibility for Fields

We would also like the ability to show or hide specific fields based on the value of another field in the same block. Eg. via textoptions or bool values.

A common scenario for us is when building more advanced or customized blocks:
Some fields are only relevant when another field has a certain value.

For example:

  • Field X and Field Y should only be visible if Field Z is set to a specific value.

Being able to configure this kind of conditional logic would greatly improve usability and reduce confusion for editors.
