How to make a true/false (boolean) field mandatory?

[chr_kluge]

Hi everyone

Did some of you face the same problem?

In the change_request I would like to make "production_system" mandatory. As it is a True/False field and I don't want to change the type I tried to configured a choice list with none. But it isn't working either for the choice values "0" and "1" or for the values "true" and "false.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks a lot

I dont get the requirement here. if you make the checkbox mandatory , outcome will always be true only. There cannot be a scenario where user can mark it false.

I think you should use a dropdown (select box) with yes/no/none values and make that as mandatory.

HI Anurag

The business case is: we don't want force in a certain workflow step the responsible user(s) to think about the flag.

And as you said for a flag the attribute mandatory makes no sense. But SNow decided to make it a boolean not me.

Thanks

You can create an onSubmit client script, and set a code similar to:

if (g_form.getValue("u_checkbox")=='false'){

  alert(getMessage("Please, accept the terms and conditions by clicking the checkbox"));

  g_form.showFieldMsg('u_checkbox',getMessage("Accept terms and conditions"),'error');

  return false;

} else {

  g_form.hideAllFieldMsgs('error');

}

Hi everyone

Thanks for your input

I think I have to create a custom field. I just hoped I could avoid it.
