Need a Yes/No Checkbox to be required based off column list field selection

[kthornton]

I created an onboarding form in Nintex which I need to have a checkbox (outlined in the below) be required when the user changes the form status from Open to Completed.

Hi,

All that would be required would be to have a rule on the Check Box. In my rule "Status" is the name of the control which has the choice.

equals(Status,"Completed")

Please see my sample form attached if required.

I added that into a rule for the checkbox, but it doesn't make it required if the status equals Completed.  It still allows me to save the form without checking it.

I wasn't able to open your example, but I've included a screen shot of the rule I setup as you recommended.  Clearly, I am missing something. :)

Hi,
The rule type needs to be Validation and not Formatting.

Hi again,

Thanks for the clarification.  I switched it to validation and then added an error message for users.  It triggers appropriately on the form, but won't let me save it once I check the Yes box.  Screen shot included.

Hi,
What is the rule that you are using now?
What was the issue importing my test form?
Can you provide an export of your form?

Hi - below is a photo of the rule.  When I tried to open your zip file it opened as an HTML and I couldn't decipher what it was saying.

Hi,
To view my sample form you will need to unzip it.
Then in SharePoint open the Nintex forms designer and select Classic Form.

From the ribbon click import and then import the file you extracted from the zip.
You can now bring up the rules panel and see how I have configured things.
Preview the form to test or publish and test on your list.
Your rule looks correct but it may not be associated to the correct control.
Following the process above you can open your form in the Nintex forms designer and click the Export button from the ribbon to export your form. Save it and zip it and attach it to a post on this thread and I can look at it for you.

The green check to the right of the rule name indicates it's associated with any controls selected on the left.  If any field other than the checkbox is selected, it won't work (even if the checkbox is ALSO selected).

Try deleting the rule, then selecting the checkbox only, them recreating the rule.

Hello,

I was able to import your example; however, I still had the same issue with the form not saving even if I check the Yes box.  You can see in the screen shot below that even when I select Completed for the Status and check the Yes box, it still shows as an error and won't save the form.
