Dear All,

 

I want to make mandatory when they select please specify a value(fill-in choice field). by default the field is options, only when they select specify a value, then it should be mandatory.

Hi Raman,

 

You should be able to do this quite easily with a Rule in the form. 

 

Simply create a rule that says the below:

 

If("SpecifyYourOwnValue.Toggle" = Yes, "SmallTextBox.Required" = Yes, SmallTextBox.Required" = No)

 

You should be able to recreate this rule in the form and that should do what you need.

 

Thanks,

 

Conrad

Do i have to change anything in the above rule?

What are these SpecifyYourOwnValue & SmallTextBox?

I don't think these are named controls.

Hi Raman,

 

You will need to replicate the syntax rule I wrote into the Nintex Form Rules. See this article below how to do so.

Hope this helps.

I know how to write a rule in nintex forms.

And for your information, single line text box is not a separate field, it is an input field when enable allow fill-in choice in the choice field settings.

Hi Raman,

 

The link I provided should direct you how to construct the rule you need to validate the field when the toggle has been selected. 

 

I don't know what you have named your form controls so I just created my own generic form control names. You simply have to follow the guidance in the link provided. 

 

Thanks,

 

Conrad.

By default the choice feild is not mandatory, only when user selects "please specify your own value",  then the filll-in choice is required.
