Tried many ways to get the "checked" attribute of the checkbox from Gravity Forms but no joy. Ended up looking in the <code>$_POST</code> global and found what I needed.</p> <p>The function I now use can be found at:</p> <p><a href="https://gist.github.com/4578295" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/4578295</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-it-possible-force-all-checkboxes-yes#post-34435 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 18:00:59 +0000 webmasterndgraphics 34435@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I was looking for exactly that option too, the ability to force multiple checkboxes to be required. I think this should be considered as an option for future updates.</p> <p>I was also looking for the 2nd item, but I agree, the conditional logic works great. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-it-possible-force-all-checkboxes-yes#post-23902 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:33:19 +0000 SteveRyan 23902@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Great, thanks for the quick reply.</p> <p>Just to complete the thought, I quickly combined all of the choices into one uber-choice in the checkbox control, separating them with a pair of <code>&lt;br/&gt;</code> tags. Worked like a charm.</p> <p>And did exactly as you suggested for the "other" choice on the Checkbox/Multiple Choice control. Conditional logic and an additional choice. I actually think I like this option a little better now that I've seen it in action, too. :)</p> <p>Thanks again!<br /> Steve Ryan </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-it-possible-force-all-checkboxes-yes#post-23901 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:05:48 +0000 Carl Hancock 23901@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>1) Required field validation only checks that one of the checkboxes in a field is checked. You'd have to use multiple checkbox fields (one for each) with each set as required to do this or write your own custom validation using the gform_validation hook.</p> <p>2) Currently there is no user defined option in the multiple choice or checkbox field. It's a feature we plan on adding as an option in the future. For now you'd have to use conditional logic and display a text field if the user selects "Other" and they'd enter their value in the text field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/is-it-possible-force-all-checkboxes-yes#post-23900 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:59:50 +0000 SteveRyan 23900@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Had two questions that I was hoping to find out today.</p> <p>1. Is it possible to set the validation of a Checkbox control to force the user to select EVERY option prior to submitting. I wanted to use this control for a series of related "read here if you understand" kind of statements, and wanted to user to check off all boxes before submitting.</p> <p>2. Is it possible to allow a user-defined option in either the multiple choice or check boxes control? So... is there something that would allow the user to say "Other:" and then specify what he or she meant?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Steve Ryan </p>
