Validate just when input is filled in Laravel nova

[karimpazoki]

• Laravel Version: 8.*
• Nova Version: 3.30.0
• PHP Version: 8.*

I want to validate unrequited field just when inputs are filled. So the filed should be required if it's empty. I have field like this:

Text::make(__('Slug'), 'slug')->hideFromIndex()
    ->rules('sometimes', 'string', 'min:2', 'max:255'),

But when the filed is empty validation return false and shows error message. I also tried nullable() but still doesn't work. Also I tried it without sometimes.

Use present insteads of sometimes

Thanks. I used present; But still it doesn't work for me and returns validation error.

slug: ["The Slug must be a string."]

Also I want validation checks against the field only if that field is present in the data being validated. So I used sometimes.
