 * Hi,
 * if i show/hide a required field with a radio or checkbox, the response from the
   feedback validation “feedbacks” that idref=Null, for ALL inputs with errors. 
   But for ux i need the idref which natively works pretty fine.
 * The problem doesnt exists if i dont use the radio/checkbox at all. Only if conditional
   fields are fired, contact 7 validation suddenly forget about idref …
 * And there is not much to configure. Sorry, that there isnt a working link because
   i am on staging.
 * Kind regards

 * Please pass the [idref] within your plugin to $result. Reason: I’ve created an
   ajax multistep with cf7 and jquery. In the end, i just need the idref (id of 
   the input) of the first field that got an error. Then i locate it among the multi-
   steps.
 * My workaround for now is:
    - Unmark “*” required fields with dependencies to unrequired fields
    - Created a custom validation thus dependencies in function.php -> [https://contactform7.com/2015/03/28/custom-validation/](https://contactform7.com/2015/03/28/custom-validation/)
 * Would be nice to hear if my request will make it into your plugin.

 * Not sure I understand the problem completely. Could you set up a form in the 
   [https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/](https://conditional-fields-cf7.bdwm.be/form-tester/)
   that we can use as a basis for our discussion? Would be helpful for me if I can
   make this issue a bit more concrete.
