Hi, you can write UI Policy to achieve it.

else you can write client script to achieve.

Can you use the code in client script  onchange type 

var state = g_form.getValue('state');
if (state == '6'){ // change it to Closed DB value

g_form.setMandatory('fieldname',true);

g_form.setValue('fieldname',true)

}

Hi  sureshloganathan

thank you 

but please how with UI policy!

because i have just those options !

ok for mandatory , but what about checked by default!

[ersureshbe]

You achieve in the script from UI Policy to set the as true.

 and refer below link for further understanding. In the same link it provides info which one is best client script or UI policy.

Hi Bouzaabia

Checkbox can be either true or false. For this case making it mandatory won't work. So you check in the script whether the valued is "true" before "closing" the request and abort the request submission by showing a message "that checkbox need to be checked before closing the request" else allow request submission.

sample code for client script 

function onSubmit() {

var checkbox= g_form.getValue("checkbox");
if (checkbox== 'false') {
g_form.addErrorMessage('Please check the checkbox');
g_form.showFieldMsg('check_box_name', 'Please check the checkbox', 'error');

return false;
}
}
