Mongoose - required validator not running by function

I'm passing a function to required validator in mongoose schema, but it's not firing if i don't pass any value to the field.

In documentation says the following:

Validators are not run on undefined values. The only exception is the required validator.

Reference: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/validation.html

If I pass a function is it not applied?

EDIT - Sharing the code:

My field definition:

field: {
      type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
      ref: 'Model',
      required: !isBlock,
      autopopulate: true
    }

The function that isn't firing:

function isBlock() {
  return this.type === 'block'
}

Debugging I saw that the problem was with the '!' operator in the function call, changing the code to the under I solved my problem.

required: function () { return !isBlock(this.type) }
