Checklist field - can you make checklist items mandatory?

[jas101]

Hi guys,

We're toying with idea of using 'Checklist' on forms - if we do, is it at all possible to enforce items on a checklist and ideally to have to have these checked before e.g. changing another field's value - thinking about how to ensure tasks are done before users can move Projects from one Phase value to another.

Thanks!

Hi,

The only place where you should make checkbox mandatory is when there should not be any other option but to agree.

For eg, user license agreements, to use the app you must accept the condition. Otherwise you cant use it.

But of there is any there option where a user can say no also, you should use a drop down with Yes/No and make it mandatory, so the used is forced to select an answer and that can be no also.

Coming to your question:- is it at all possible to enforce items on a checklist and ideally to have to have these checked before e.g. changing another field's value.--Yes this can be done . You can do it on client side and also on the server side based on the need.

Believe the user is refering to checklist formatters on task tables rather than the checkbox T/F variable
