Cannot create new Reusable Q&A nodes

[laflannery]

Describe the defect

When trying to create a new node from the Reusable Q&A content type, I am not able to because it is validating on conditional fields.

When creating a Reusable Q&A, there is an option to "Enable standalone Resources and support page for this Q&A." If selected, this adds many more additional fields that the editor can fill out, including some required fields. Unfortunately, these fields are being validated on even if I haven't checked this option.

Examples

First time I try to create a Reusable Q&A, I filled out the Question, Answer and the Revision log message. Upon trying to save this node, I get a validation that this can't be saved because 2 fields have an error:

• Section - accurate, I did purposely not fill this out, it's a field over in the right column
• Link - not accurate, this is a field that is within the conditional additional fields

Screenshot of content I filled out and error

Screenshot of where the link field is (which shows AFTER I select the checkbox)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new reusable Q&A on staging
2. Fill out all required fields
3. Scroll down and attempt to save the new node
4. See validation error

AC / Expected behavior

• Write a test that will catch this scenario
• Fields should only be validated on if they are being used

Additional context

I also was getting additional validation errors on other fields when I changed the conditional content. For example:

1. I opened the standalone content options
2. Changed "Contact Information" to be "Benefit Hubs Contacts"
3. Didn't select any contacts
4. Unselected the Standalone contact option (so the additional fields are gone now)
5. Tried to save my Q&A and this time got a validation message for Link AND Benefits Hub Contacts

This is happening in prod / staging as well, so not limited to D10. Good find, Laura.

Timeboxing to determine cause and then revisit if it's time consuming to fix.

Verified on Staging, which is downstream from Prod and therefore verifies prod.
