Dynamically change required indicator

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Depending on the value of one component I need to show / not show the required indicator of another component.

I’ve tried it via my validator group - only for the first time when displaying the layout it works - afterwards no effect any more. Finally I tried it by

		comp1.addValueChangeListener(new ValueChangeListener<MyType>() {
			
			@Override
			public void valueChange(ValueChangeEvent<MyType> event) {
				if (event.getValue().isSpecialState()) {
					comp2.setRequiredIndicatorVisible(false);
				} else {
					comp2.setRequiredIndicatorVisible(true);
				}
			}
		});

Also no effect. How to dynamically change the required indicator?

Some additional information: The actual dynamic validation (that a value for the component is required or not) I’m doing not via BindingBuilder.asRequired but via a custom validator in a validator group, that also validates a lot of other things.
