Shouldn't be using a radio button instead of a checkBox field??

a!localVariables(

  a!formLayout(

My previous replies were marked as spams for a reason.. Nevermind.

I'm posting again the fixed version with the variables you had in your code.

First to check - is it possible your paradigm can be met by using a dropdown or radio buttons? Those components already have a method of ensuring that only a single value is selected, so it might be easier than trying a more complicated solution with checkboxes.

That being said, I have a couple recommendations for making this work with the checkbox method:

First, I'd suggest using two different variables for each checkbox. It's much easier to identify what's happening and you can manage the variables independently.
I also recommend avoiding logic on the "value" parameter - personally I find it much easier to always make the value reference a variable directly, because then there is no ambiguity for what is displayed. Then, you simply need to apply the correct logic on the save to ensure the value is correct.

Here's my solution:

a!localVariables(
  local!additionalInfoRequired,
  local!additionalInfoRequired2,
  a!formLayout(
    contents:{
      a!checkboxField(
        labelPosition: "ABOVE",
        choiceLabels: {"additional Info Required"},
        choiceValues: {true},
        value: local!additionalInfoRequired,
        saveInto: {
          local!additionalInfoRequired,
          if(
            and(
              local!additionalInfoRequired,
              local!additionalInfoRequired2
            ),
            a!save(
              target: local!additionalInfoRequired2,
              value: null
            ),
            {}
          )
        }
      ),
      a!checkboxField(
        labelPosition: "ABOVE",
        choiceLabels: {"additional Info Required 2"},
        choiceValues: {true},
        value: local!additionalInfoRequired2,
        saveInto: {
          local!additionalInfoRequired2,
          if(
            and(
              local!additionalInfoRequired,
              local!additionalInfoRequired2
            ),
            a!save(
              target: local!additionalInfoRequired,
              value: null
            ),
            {}
          )
        }
      )
    },
    buttons:a!buttonLayout(
      primaryButtons:{
        a!buttonWidget(
          label:"Submit",
          submit: true
        )
      }
    )
  )
)

If you double click on the same checkbox twice, it is returning an error.
