It's almost 2009. Any progress on this front? It is vitally important that I have this ability in my db -- not an absolute killer, but the hacks around the issue are painful to maintain.

One thought: In this section you wrote... --------------------------- In the When section you specify When the rule applies. Currently we anticipate the choices here being: when a field is a particular value when a field is not a particular value when a field changes when a field changes to a particular value when a field changes from a particular value when the form loads when the form is saved In the Additional Conditions section, you'll be able to specify one or more conditions that must also be true in order for the rule to apply. The choices here will probably be: when a field is a particular value is not a particular value is greater than a particular value is less than a particular value --------------------------- I trust this will also support field conditions of blank and non-blank as triggers, in addtion to the ones you have listed. e.g. If a field is blank, send the user a message. Then I can use the message to explain not only that the blank field needs a value, but why, etc. This will be a big help over and above the current simple "required" condition. Sounds great.
