If an entire page is hidden, it makes logical sense that the fields on their marked as required are not in fact required to be completed since the user can not access them at all.

I recently learned we have to add a condition to every required field on a potentially hidden page to honor the same formula as the one being determined to hide the page in the first place.

This is highly inefficient and unpractical to maintain on a consistent and scalable basis since many of those required fields are conditionally required already based on field results on their same page.

Hidden pages should not prevent a user from submitting a form, regardless of the fields on them and their visibility/requirement logic.

I would hope this is a simple fix in the form completion validation occurring on the back end.
