I am trying to require a Choice field with multiple choices.    I have the formula:

isNullOrEmpty({Self}

The error message is:

Please select at least one Denial Reason.

This works great.   If the user does not check at least one item, the error message is displayed just as expected.

The problem occurs when the user checks "Specify your own value"   but does not fill in a value.   The error message "Please select at least one Denial Reason" then displays.   This is very misleading.  Is there a better way to do this validation?

Got it

(length({Self}) <= 0)
