[Bug] Image field required during upload in spite of using a conditional __required with a lambda function

[akhileshThapliyal]

I have a scenario where I want to prompt users to upload their profile picture in create mode. Once the user uploads a profile picture and edits the other form fields such as country etc.. it should allow the form validation to pass without making the profile picture field mandatory.

Expectation is based on the condition below it should only make the field mandatory on create, and on edit, it should allow to pass the form validation for the profile picture field without the need to re-upload it, as the details are already present in the form.

        "id": "image-file-upload",
        "class": {
            "d-none": True
        }
    },
    required=lambda form, **_: form.instance is None
