Hi @raj765_32,

Since this is a checkbox and it only contains a true or false value, it always contains some value (checked: true, un checked: false), which makes mandatory kind of useless.

If you want to make the field checked always whenever you make it mandatory, you can add another line of code like the one below.

g_form.setValue('u_peers_review', 'true');

Otherwise if you want to check whether the field is checked or not on submit you can try using the following onSubmit client script.

var checked = g_form.getValue('u_peers_review');

if (!checked) {

        g_form.addErrorMessage('You haven't selected the peer review!');

        return false;

}
