Describe the issue

In GlobaLeaks, there is a need to implement a trigger to enable or disable the whistleblowing identity question. However, when a whistleblower chooses not to provide their identity, they are unable to submit their contact details later. This issue arises due to any trigger applied directly to the whistleblowing identity question template or its override.

Steps to Reproduce:

Implement a trigger in GlobaLeaks to enable or disable the whistleblowing identity question.
Have a whistleblower choose not to provide their identity.
Attempt to submit the contact details.
Observed Behavior:
The system prevents the whistleblower from submitting their contact details if they have chosen not to provide their identity.
Workaround:
We can overcome this issue by placing the identity question in a different step and applying the trigger to that step. However there is a downside, even when the step is disabled (i.e., there is no identity question), the system still prompts the whistleblower to submit their contact details when they are logged in. When the identity question step is disabled, and the ID question not answered (yes or no) the system should not prompt the whistleblower to submit their contact details.

Proposed solution

Allow triggers or even better Implement conditional triggers to make the identity question mandatory under specific circumstances, such as legal requirements.
Prevent the submission of contact details if the identity question has not been answered.
when the identity question is disabled, the system does not prompt the whistleblower to submit their contact details later
Ensure the system can accommodate different legal requirements for whistleblower ID.
