Prohibits on Checkbox not working

I have form with a checkbox and a date picker. Neither are required but both should never be fillable/submittable together. I am using the prohibits rule so one blocks the other. 
Forms\Components\Checkbox::make('start_immediately')
    ->prohibits('start_date'),

Forms\Components\DatePicker::make('start_date')
    ->prefixIcon('heroicon-o-calendar')
    ->minDate(now())
    ->native(false)
    ->prohibits('start_immediately'),
Forms\Components\Checkbox::make('start_immediately')
    ->prohibits('start_date'),

Forms\Components\DatePicker::make('start_date')
    ->prefixIcon('heroicon-o-calendar')
    ->minDate(now())
    ->native(false)
    ->prohibits('start_immediately'),
Leaving the fields blank works, only ticking start_immeditately works, however selecting a start_date but leaving start_immediately blank throws a validation error as shown in the image as the start_immeditately field is present even if it’s value is false. Is there are way around this?

Solution:
I can use a custom rule like so which fixes this. I think it’s the only way to make it work as the built-in rules don’t always play well with checkboxes ```php Forms\Components\Checkbox::make('start_immediately') ->rules([...

            return function (string $attribute, $value, Closure $fail) use ($get) {

                }

        }

                }

        }
    ]),
