Custom validation message not displaying when no entry is made on compulsory field

I've created a compulsory checkbox in my form with a custom validation message, however the field displays no validation message when I fail to enter a value.

If I subsequently click and un-click the checkbox the message does appear. But nothing if the field is simply left blank from the start.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue?

Is Marketo aware of this bug and, if so, an ETA when this will be fixed?  I didn't even realize it was broken (can't believe I missed this blog post back in September, Sandy!).  It's great that you've provided a custom fix, but this is something that just should work as expected.

Yeah, I know about it. We have a bug open on it, just low pri.

Thanks,

Hi Sanford,

Could you tell me where can access the forms code to update it as per your blog? I'm struggling to find it.

Same issue for me as well with the validation. I was wondering where the js file is so we can put in the edit.

The JS is right in the middle of my blog post.
