What about like this?
'paymode_id' => $request->has('payment_date')
? 'required_unless:payment_date,null|exists:paymodes,id'
: 'required_unless:payment_date,null',

Validation form request required_unless + exists
Hello,
I have this form validation rule.
'paymode_id' => 'required_unless:payment_date,null|exists:paymodes,id',
The problem is that event if the payment date is null, it checks for an existing paymode id.
Is it possible to check if the paymode id exists only if the payment date is not null ?
Thanks for your help.

@MichalOravec Oh it's even easier and shorter than the solution that I've just found.

'paymode_id' => [
'required_unless:payment_date,null',
Rule::when($request->has('payment_date'), fn () => Rule::exists('paymodes')),
],

Lary AI suggested me to create a custom Rule with a passes function, but a rule has a validate function.
I solved my problem like this.
public function validate(string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail): void
{
$payment_date = request()->payment_date;
if ($payment_date && !Paymode::where('id', $value)->exists()) {
$fail('Le mode de paiement choisi n\'existe pas.');
}
}

@vincent15000 When you need to include an apostrophe (') in a string, use double-quotes.
$fail("Le mode de paiement choisi n'existe pas.");
