is it possible to make a true/false field mandatory?

[garethprice]

I've been trying to make a true/false field mandatory on the Service Desk Call Plugin. I've tried a couple of variations of UI policies and the field shows with a grey star as if it was mandatory once but i'm unable to make the field mandatory if false and not mandatory if true

any suggestions?

If it always mandatory means,

make it check box true in dictionary level of the corresponding field.

if it certain   condition then go for UI Policy or client script.

if you create an onSubmit client script you can add the condition in there:

name: mandatory true

type: onSubmit

script:

var myBoolean = g_form.getValue('variable_name');

if(!myBoolean){//this evaluates as if the checkbox is not checked

alert('This VARIABLE must be checked before saving');

return false;

}

Although you can "make" a True/False field (checkbox) mandatory, it always contains a true or false value so it will always be considered to be filled in regardless of the status.   That's why you see the grey star - it's mandatory AND "filled in".

I always create a choice field with "Yes" and "No" options and include a blank option that fails the mandatory check.
