Split Mandatory Checkbox Group into 2 Columns?

[Duncan Pederse1]

Is there an easy way to split up a mandatory group of checkboxes into two columns?

The second column always appears for me with the "Options" label over the top, and is not part of the same mandatory group as the first column.

Hi,

Unfortunately, by default, the checkboxes all have to be in the same line/column to have the mandatory rules applied to it using OOB methods. What you can do is create an onSubmit client script that checks these boxes to ensure at least one is selected (or whatever other parameter your requirements are). If it's possible to design it with all under the one column, that would be ideal, but if not...then there is an alternate method using client script onSubmit.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi,

Five years passed, has there been any update to that? We have the same problem.
