How about something like this:
(1) Assign the "Yes / No" chooser component a dummy parameter that you do not include in any layout so it doesn't show in the screen.
(2) Now validate the value of that parameter (yes or no) against the LocateID field's content.
(3) Optional: You could disable the LocateID field when the value of Is Short is No.
