Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.When clientside_validation_states is enabled, fields with required #state are immediately validated when the conditions are met. This triggers error messages before the user has had a chance to do anything.
For instance, in the following gif, when the user selects "Make other required", the "Other Hotel" text field appears and is immediately marked as invalid, even though the user hasn't had a chance to type anything. I think this is a bit rude.

This patch removes the immediate validation bit. This gives the user a chance to fill in the field without displaying an error. The other validation events (blur, keyup and submit) still trigger as normal.
This could be considered a feature request, but I think it is a UX bug.
