which variable type allows mulitple selection

[sohan_snow]

Hi All,

In a catalog item, i need to use a variable that will have multiple choice values   and should also allow multiple selection. Also, this variable should be mandatory(i.e atleast 1 option to be selected before the request is placed).

I am able to achieve it via a series of checkboxes but not getting how can I make the selection of any 1 checkbox mandatory before the submission (i.e users are able to submit the form without selecting the checkboxes)

Is there any other alternative to achieve the same

Thanks in advance

Hi Sohan,

Create a List field and make the field directly mandatory.. Right click over the field and go to configure dictionary and check Mandatory option

Thanks,

There's no such thing as making a single checkbox (true/false) field mandatory because it always has a value. Mandatory means you don't have a value in the field and try to submit the form. Since true/false fields always have a true or a false value, there's never a null value and thus the mandatory checkbox on a field means nothing. I like the suggestions above of making the section mandatory. Haven't discovered that one yet. I'll do some exploring.
