ImageField required when updating/edit

[devcut]

Hello,

When i edit my entity with already image in database, the imageField show the required HTML5 tooltip...

$picture = ImageField::new('picture')
      ->setUploadDir('public/uploads/gifts')
      ->setBasePath('uploads/gifts')
      ->setSortable(false);

@devcut I came up with a bit of a dirty fix. You can override the ea form theme (or specific parts of it). Check out the docs for more info https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/EasyAdminBundle/fields.html#design-options I've added a little

<script>
        var fileInput = document.querySelector('#{{ form.file.vars.id }}');
        var labelText = fileInput.nextElementSibling.innerText;
        if( '' !== labelText ) {
            fileInput.removeAttribute('required');
        }
</script>

This checks if the label has any text in it. If so that means there's an image so the input's required attribute is removed. Remember to set allow_delete to false on the fields form type options.

Would be great to see a solid built in solution for this issue!

A solution could be

$picture = ImageField::new('picture')
      ->setUploadDir('public/uploads/gifts')
      ->setBasePath('uploads/gifts')
      ->setSortable(false)
      ->setFormTypeOption('required' ,false)

Nowdays there is a method so you can use it for ex. like this:

ImageField::new('picture')->setRequired($pageName !== Crud::PAGE_EDIT);

If the image is not nullable, better to do:

ImageField::new('picture')
    ->setRequired($pageName !== Crud::PAGE_EDIT)
    ->setFormTypeOptions($pageName == Crud::PAGE_EDIT ? ['allow_delete' => false] : [])
