I have a field which is not required to be filled at registration ( I'm forced to do that because when registering, all data are sent to a remote server). Now I would like make it required when users update their profile for force them to fill something if field was empty or to avoid they cancel data if field was filled.
How to do that ?

Make it a required field that doesn't show during registration. Once they try to update their profile they will be required to enter the data in the required field.

That the point: I need to show this field at registration but I don't want force user to fill in at this step. I want force them to fill only in edit mode.

Oh, by the way you posted it, " not required at registration" I assumed it didn't need to show then.
So, you want it visable to them during registration but they do not have to fill it out. If they edit their profile they are required to put the data in before saving changes.
Interesting concept. One way you can do it is to use cb conditions to do something similar to this.
Field conditional on self
if "some field" = not empty (this makes the action work) (select a field that they have to fill out like, name, email, etc.)
then
not required
Registration - Disabled
Profile Edit - Enabled
Make sure the field is a "required" field.
This condition makes it so the requirement to be filled in at registration is bypassed but upheld during profile edit.
That's the only way I know to do it. I'm sure theres a cleaner method, but I'm pretty new at all of this. Good luck.
I've included a pic so you get the idea of what I'm trying to say.
CB Conditional is the only solution in this case as proposed by danbo1972. CB does not have built in separate registration and profile edit required state.
