How to make at least one checkbox field mandatory from list of check box variables in variable set.

[Raja Ravindra]

Hi all, 

We created a variable set in a catalog item  with 6 Variables.

In that variable set 2 variables  are label type fields.

And 4 variables are check box types.

Requirement is to select at least one check box from the list of 4 checkbox variables before request submission. if no checkbox variable is marked as true, then we need to restrict the user for submitting the form by giving an alert.

Please help me with the script which we need to use for achieving this.

Thank you,

Raja.

Refer below code,

Add field names as per your requirement,

  if(g_form.getValue(field_name1) == 'true' ) || g_form.getValue(field_name2) == 'true' ) || g_form.getValue(field_name3) == 'true' ) || g_form.getValue(field_name4) == 'true' ))

{

return true

}

else

{

    alert('Please be sure to check the box before submitting a form.');

    return false;

}

@Raja Ravindra 

you need to use onSubmit catalog client script for this

Applies to Catalog Item - true

Applies on Catalog Item view - true

sample below

function onSubmit(){

var allowed = 'false';

// give here the 4 variable names in array

var checkboxArray = ['variableName1','variableName2','variableName3','variableName4'];

for(var i=0;i<checkboxArray.length;i++){

if(g_form.getValue(checkboxArray[i]).toString() == 'true'){

allowed = 'true';

break;

}

}

if(allowed == 'false'){

alert('Atleast 1 checkbox is to be selected');

return false;

}

}
