Action Fails based on required_if column

[Dialect_Junk]

I have two columns: “Timecard Approved?” and “Reject Reason.”

The Supervisor reviews individual timecards and if anything is missing, they hit an action button - “Reject Timecard” - which sets the “Timecard Approved?” column to “Reject.”

This was working as expected until I set the column “Reject Reason” to required if “Timecard Approved?” = “Reject.”

This now prevents the action from firing and shows the following error message once I hit the “Reject Timecard” action:

Is there a workaround for this?
