Conditional validation: make a field required only if report is being submitted as final

I want the follow validation to kick in *only* if the Report.Status field = 'Final'. (The users are allowed to submit the report as draft and come back and finish it later.)

How would I go about this?

<xp:inputTextarea style="width:75%" value="#{Report.Agenda}" id="Agenda">
                               <xp:this.validators>
                       <xp:validateRequired
                           message="Question 1 can't be blank">
                       </xp:validateRequired>
                   </xp:this.validators>
       </xp:inputTextarea>

Didn't the inputTextArea required checkbox can be computed?

I haven't tested but instead of ticking the "Required field" of the inputTextArea, maybe you can just compute the following SSJS into it:

Report.getValue("Status") == "Final"
