Am using FormAPI.setRequired("checkboxfieldid").id; in on load event of form to make checkbox field as required dynamically. The checkbox allows multiple values. Am storing the selected values of checkbox in to DB.The statement is setting the field as required but it is not displaying the values that are selected. If am removing the required statement it is displaying the selected values. It is also working when checkbox is of single type and only 1 value is selected. Please help me how to make multivalued checkbox as required dynamically.........

ac! is of type multiple and we are storing as a string value in CDt and while retrieving we are splitting it and displaying the values.

Hi Sudha, It just works perfect. Follow this:
Add importScript("/plugins/servlet/FormsExt.js"); in you on load, followed by FormAPI.setRequired("checkboxfieldid", true);
Then save the value to ac! and in data output tab map it to a string or CDT as you like. I just reproduced the scenario and it worked perfect for me.! I am generating the check box values thru constants!

Hi raghunandan i have tried the approach which you have specified,its working fine.Its able to display values of checkbox but based on radiobutton value am making checkbox field as visible and required,So for the first time if at all the checkbox is visible then its displaying selected values but when i perform onclick event of radiobutton i.e say i have selected "No" and again i have selected "Yes" then the selected checkbox values are not getting displayed.

Hi Sudha, even for that, the same approach works. i tried now.
On click of radio button,
var radVal = FormAPI.getValue("radifieldId").id;
if(radVal=="Yes")
{
FormAPI.show("multichkboxID");
FormAPI.setRequired("multichkboxID",true);
}
else
{
FormAPI.hide("multichkboxID");
FormAPI.setRequired("multichkboxID",false);}
And in frm onload, initially keep the chekbox hidden.
This approach works fine for me.
Hope it helps
