There are several ways to fix this issue. One is to add more validators and the other is to instantiate a QtDialog object inside the parent setup function by using:

QLineEdit(value, self).textChanged.connect(lambda text: QDialog.update_buttons())

If you want to know more, you have to spend your time learning about signals, slots, and object oriented programming.
