Checkbox Validation

Hi.
I use the checkbox control for many of my forms and add in a validation
rulke that it's mandatory and that they must be completed before the form is
saved / submitted.

However, if I have 5 check-boxes, once one of the is ticked as complete,
this validates the form even though there are still 4 boxes outstanding.

Is there a way to validate the whole checkbox control setting when it's used
in a form so all boxes MUST be ticked for form completion?

Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

And I imagine that all checkboxes are part of the same control. Then you
have 3 checkboxes, you can use the following formula to validate the
control: `count(xxf:split(.)) = 3`. This would go in the Control Settings,
in "Validations and Alerts":

As a result, the field will be considered invalid unless all checkboxes are
checked:

You'll let me know if this works for you,

Hi Kevin, did you get to try the technique described in my previous message
to check that all the checkboxes are checked? If so, did it work for you?
