Microsoft Dynamics Entity Form Validation Using JavaScript

I am writing my first JavaScript extension in Microsoft Dynamics Customer Engagement, and I can't get my script to work the way I want it. I am trying to check if the country field is empty. If it is, I want to set a notification and make it a required field. If it is not empty and the country is United States, I want to check if state and zip are empty. If they are, I want to set a notification and make them required fields. If the country is not United States, I want to clear the notifications for state and zip. And if the country is United States and state and zip are populated, I want to clear the notifications.

The country field uses a lookup, and I am accounting for that by assigning the country lookup value for the conditional check on state and zip.

I have this set to execute on save. Please see my code below. I have been at this for a while, and it's driving me mad. Any help is appreciated.

And I apologize if this looks like a hot mess right now. I've changed the code about 872 times and finally threw my hands in the air.

function SetMandatoryFields(executionContext) {

    debugger;
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var addressState, addressCountry, addressZip, countryLookup;

    //Initialize variables to corresponding form fields. Get value of form fields and set fields to required if applicable.
    addressState = formContext.getAttribute("usf_address1stateid").getValue();
    addressZip = formContext.getAttribute("address1_postalcode").getValue();
    addressCountry = formContext.getAttribute("usf_address1countryid").getValue();

    //If country is United States, set state as required field if it is null or blank, and prompt user for field value. Else, clear prompt.
    if (addressCountry != null && addressCountry != "") {
        formContext.getControl("usf_address1countryid").clearNotification();
        countryLookup = formContext.getAttribute("usf_address1countryid").getValue()[0].name;
        //If country lookup is equal to United States, make state and zip required fields.
        if (countryLookup == "United States") {
            if (addressState == null || addressState == "") {
                formContext.getControl("usf_address1stateid").setNotification("State is a required field.");
            }
            else {
                formContext.getControl("usf_address1stateid").clearNotification();
            }
            if (addressZip == null || addressZip == "") {
                formContext.getControl("address1_postalcode").setNotification("Zip/Postal Code is a required field.");
            }
            else {
                formContext.getControl("address1_postalcode").clearNotification();
            }
        }
        //If country lookup is not United States, remove state and zip requirement
        else if (countryLookup != "United States") {
            
            formContext.getControl("address1_postalcode").clearNotification();
            formContext.getControl("usf_address1stateid").clearNotification();
        }
    }
    else {
        formContext.getControl("usf_address1countryid").setNotification("Country is a required field.");
    }
}

The important snippet to make the fields mandatory is missing, refer the sample changes below and modify your code accordingly.

if (addressState == null || addressState == "") {
    formContext.getControl("usf_address1stateid").setNotification("State is a required field.");
    formContext.getAttribute("usf_address1stateid").setRequiredLevel("required");
}
else {
    formContext.getControl("usf_address1stateid").clearNotification();
    formContext.getAttribute("usf_address1stateid").setRequiredLevel("none");
}
