load(
local!checkboxValue,
local!checkboxSave,
a!dashboardLayout(
firstColumnContents: {
a!checkboxField(
label: "Certification Required?",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
choicelabels: {
"Yes",
"No"
},
choiceValues: {
"Y",
"N"
},
value: local!checkboxValue,
saveInto: {
a!save(target: local!checkboxValue,
value: if(and(not(rule!APN_isBlank(save!value)), length(save!value)=2),
local!checkboxValue, save!value
)),
a!save(local!checkboxSave,
local!checkboxValue
)

}
),
a!textField(
label: "Display value: user will have to click away to see second selection disappear",
value: local!checkboxValue,
readOnly: true
),
a!textField(
label: "Saved Value",
value: local!checkboxSave,
readOnly: true
)

})
)

I like the look of the checkbox and I thought I could figure out a way to use a validation rule to check for multiple selections, but maybe it's not worth the effort - using a radio button may be easier. Thanks!

Is it important that it be a checkboxfield? I typically use a radio button for yes/no fields.

Try to use Radio button a!radioButtonField() when the choice is Yes or No.
