You don't want it causing problems in other areas of the administration, as well as when exporting data to CSV for use in other systems and integrating with other services. The name of the field needs to be text only.</p> <p>But what I can look into is making the position of the description configurable. If the description was positioned below the label you could insert a textarea into it, please your terms of use within the textarea and then have a single checkbox to accept the terms of use. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-create-single-checkbox-that-is-required-for-confirming-tc-for-example#post-2205 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:09:46 +0000 RichardBest 2205@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hmmm. I just tested this using a checkboxes field but otherwise following what I suggested above. The problem, I see, is that one can't put HTML in the field label. You can put HTML in the field description, which is a bit of a workaround to the issue (because in the description one can put something like <code>You can find the site&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com&quot;&gt;terms of use here&lt;/a&gt;. Make sure you read them!</code>, but it would be preferable, both visually and legally, to be able to put it in the field label, i.e., in the question which appears before the user clicks the 'yes' box.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Richard </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-create-single-checkbox-that-is-required-for-confirming-tc-for-example#post-2203 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:37:35 +0000 RichardBest 2203@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Surely you could do this with a single option 'multi-choice' field, the question being "Do you agree to our terms of use", the phrase "terms of use" being an external link to the actual terms, and the only mandatory option being "yes". The error message for that option, if not selected, would be something like "You must accept our terms of use before being able to proceed". I haven't implemented this yet in my forms but propose to do so in the near future. Hope it works as expected.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Richard </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-create-single-checkbox-that-is-required-for-confirming-tc-for-example#post-2196 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:32:54 +0000 Carl Hancock 2196@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ryan, we are looking into your issue as I mentioned via an email response to your Contact Us submission just a little bit ago.
