Image field in edit mode still asking for image as a 'required' field

Question

In the voyager backend, i set an image field as required in the BREAD section:

This works well in 'add' mode. image field will be validated if empty

Issue occurs in 'edit' mode. The image appears but on clicking on 'save', a prompt is thrown indicating the image field is empty(therefore requiring the image to be uploaded again):

therefore getting an 'Image field is required' prompt on edit. this appears to be a bug. Anyone experienced this issue and how did you fix it?

Seems like a missing feature; there are definitely cases where you'd want different validation for the create/edit states, like the `unique` rule. I'd consider opening an issue on the Voyager github page (or browsing open issues for a similar one) — Tim Lewis, Sep 07 '18 at 15:06
Hi Tim. already opened a ticket. awaiting a response. though have resolved to solve the issue on my own by overriding the edit method. will see what i come up with — suo, Sep 07 '18 at 15:18

Found a solution from the ticket i had raised on Voyager's github's page:

i.e. using required_if instead of required

{ "validation": { "rule": "required_if:id,null", "messages": { "required": "your message" } } }

here's the ticket: Voyager image edit issue

You can just set the rule on the column to the following

{
    "rule": "nullable"
}
