Check box field mandatory

[samadam]

I need to make check box field mandatory at certain state, I am trying with this script to not allow without checked but doesnt work

    var bd = g_form.getValue('u_shipment');

    var rec_state =  g_form.getValue('u_state');

    if (!g_form.getValue('u_shipment') && rec_state == 'ship') {

        g_form.addErrorMessage('Shipment must be checked to continue');

    return false;

    }

tried to add alert no luck. Any ideas?

Presuming your field u_shipment is a True/False type and it's Default value is set to false change this line:

if(!g_form.getValue('u_shipment') && rec_state =='ship') {

to: 

if (g_form.getValue('u_shipment') == 'false' && rec_state == 'ship') {

Hi @samadam,

You have a couple of options available for you depending on whether this is a checkbox on a Catalog Item (a variable) or is it's a checkbox field on a task table such as Incident for example.

For a Catalog variable: Leverage the "Selection required" checkbox on the variable form

For a table that extends task: g_form.setMandatory('checkbox_field_name', true);

var bd = g_form.getValue('u_shipment');
var rec_state =  g_form.getValue('u_state');
if (!g_form.getValue('u_shipment') && rec_state == 'ship') {
    g_form.setMandatory('u_shipment', true);
    g_form.addErrorMessage('Shipment must be checked to continue');
    return false;
}

Tried both suggestions and did not work. This is a custom table. It behaves as if it doesnt hit the OnSubmit script
