I need to dinamicly change city field from required to non-required with ajax in my woocommerce checkout.

Ajax callback function:

function my_action_callback(){
    WC()->checkout->checkout_fields['billing']['billing_city']['required'] = false;
    $fase = WC()->checkout->checkout_fields;
    wp_send_json($fase);
}
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action', 'my_action_callback');

Ajax function: 

$(document).on('change', '#shipping_method_0', function(){
    var v = $(this).val();
    $.post(ajaxurl, {
            'action': 'my_action',
            'data': {'val':v}
        }, function(response){
            console.log(response);
        }
    );
});

and devtool console screenshot

And after that when i submit the checkout form this field is still required by form response, even if this field is removed from html with devtool.

  1. It’s still being required within wc’s php. Add a filter disabling this requirement.

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     $fields['order']['billing_city']['required'] = false;
     return $fields;
}
