Hi,
I have a question_type field which determines what part of a struct is required. If it is :text then the :text field is required, if it is :option then the :option_id field is required. However, doing what I’ve done below doesn’t seem to be working, any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks
def changeset(response, attrs) do
response
|> cast(attrs, [:text, :question_id, :option_id, :question_type])
|> cast_assoc(:sub_response, with: &SubResponse.changeset/2)
|> validate_required([:question_id], message: "Please enter a value.")
|> validate_by_type()
end
defp validate_by_type(changeset) do
case get_field(changeset, :question_type) do
:text ->
changeset
|> validate_required([:text], message: "Please enter a value.")
:option ->
changeset |> validate_required([:option_id], message: "Please enter a value.")
_ ->
changeset
end
end

What is the type of the
question_typefield in your schema? The only way it seems this could go wrong is ifget_field(changeset, :question_type)isn’t returning an atom…CallumVass
You’re right, thanks!
