Story Problem

If the user adds a picture, I want to cancel the min part that requires the story to be written. I want the 'story' => min part to be canceled if the user adds a picture. That is, I want the minimum character input to be canceled when the image is added. If the picture is deleted or the picture format is not suitable (size, extension, etc.), I want the minimum character input to come back.
