How to make all the options under "checkboxes" field mandatory

[Sarin_Nair1]

I need to to have multiple checkboxes in a form and all checkboxes should be mandatory so I used a field with field type 'checkboxes"  and made it mandatory however the the issue is even if I click check one checkbox it allows the form to be submitted.

Any suggestions?

Note: I dont want to use a different fields for each check box.

I don't understand the user experience you're going for.  The definition of "mandatory" is that the underlying field must end up with a non-empty value.  If every one of your checkboxes is mandatory, that means the mandatory value of the field is, for example "1;2;3;4".  Why would you give people a one-or-more widget (that's what the checkbox set means) when you actually mean "all"?

In other words, the checkbox/boolean must always be set to TRUE in your Form, but in reality, no choice needs to be made since a checkbox can be T/F.

Try a radio button or reconsider how you ask the questions.

Yeah, it seems like the more appropriate widget is a checkbox, as opposed to checkboxes.  Really, even if you make all the checkboxes mandatory (which is easy using a little JS) it's still kind of strange to the user... you're making them spend extra clicks for no payoff.

Thanks Sanford .

This for is for internal purpose and basically it is a training checklist with a set of points and we would like to make sure that the staff don't miss any point (checkboxes) so we want them to tick all the checkboxes. If i use 'checkbox'  field type instead of checkboxes, we have to make that many fields and it is not feasible as there are like 20 checklist points?

OK, in the context of an internal form (not lead-facing) it makes more sense.

Easy to do with a little Forms 2.0 API JS: MktoForms2 :: Checkbox Set All Required
