Mandatory CheckBox on Form

[odinx16]

I need a Mandatory Checkbox as Acknowledgement on a form. The checkbox appears in certain conditions and has to be mandatory if it appears.
Currently I have the checkbox appearing correctly and when i have g_form.setDisplay('MyCheckbox',true), I also set:

g_form.setMandatory'MyCheckbox',true).

The asterisk appears next to the checkbox, but it is always grey. I can obtain the functionality I need with a Business Rule (before update), but my requirement is to actually make the asterisk red so that it is obvious.

Does anyone know a simple solution for this?

Trying to adapt this into an onBefore Business Rule on my table, and while it works when I manually change the "State" field (the filter condition is "When State changes"), it does not work when a UI Action is used to change the State field:

(function executeRule(current, previous) {

var list = [];
var deptpriorityField = current.u_departmentpriority;

if (!deptpriorityField) {
list.push('Department Priority');
}
// if (!categoryField) {
// list.push('Category');
// }

// Repeat above bold lines for each checkbox...
if (list.length > 0) {
gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage('You need to check the following checkboxes: ' + list.join(', ')));
current.setAbortAction(true);
//gs.setRedirect(current);
}

})(current, previous);

I know this is an old post, so things have changed.  In London, at least, there is a "Selection required" checkbox on the variable form.  If you check that off, the user MUST check the checkbox.  No scripting required.

Do i need to make it true for all the checkboxes or just for one its enough?

I don't believe you can use this feature on a group of checkboxes. As in, you have 5 choices and the user must select one or more of those choices.  I think it only works on single checkboxes, like, "I have read the Terms and Conditions," type checkboxes.
