checkbox as required field in Leads module

Hi Kunal singh,

As mentioned in the following link, currently you can not make 'HTML' and 'Checkbox' field types required via studio. 

http://support.sugarcrm.com/Knowledge_Base/Studio_and_Module_Builder/Making_a_Field_Required_or_Unrequired/ 

You will have to do this via dependency functionality of SugarCRM which will require developer skills. Following is the example of setting a field as Required via Dependencies.

This will not work by trying to archive this in SugarCRM Studio.

Making a checkbox "required" is not possible as "required" means SugarCRM is expecting a value in a field other than "emtpy / null" , on checkboxes it can be 0 or 1 (true / false) but both possibilities are values and "required" is true logically.

If you want to make sure a checkbox is ticked it must be checked before a form submits data to SugarCRM so you need to implement this in the website form you are using.

This can look loke this:

Yes, checkbox contains 0 or 1 value and that's why sugar is not showing the required option in the studio. But still, you can make a checkbox required which means that record will be saved only if the checkbox is checked (i.e. value = 1/true) because when Sugar will perform a validation check on the field with value 0 or false it will be considered as empty hence prompting the user to mark the checkbox checked before saving the record.
