You can go to the Advanced Settings for the table and enable Custom Data Rules.  If there is a calculated message then the record save will blocked with the message.

IF(
([workstation plan]="replace" OR [workstation plan]="add new") 

AND 

Trim([workstation to be deployed-replaced])="", "Sorry but when blah blah is blah blah blah, you must provide the  workstation to be deployed-replaced")

Thank you! I am guessing that making a field required is not available?
This is a good option to use if that is the case. Thank you for your time!!

    if you want to use form rules, then just make a formula and include hat formula field on the form.  
    Then have a form rule to make the field required if the formula is not blank.
