Logic: At least one option is selected

When you have multiple controls but you need to have at least one be 'selected'.  Ideally you would use a checkbox for this situation, but when you have to use multiple individual checkbox controls you need to create a rule to make at least one required.

You will need to create a logic control in the form and set it as invisible and required.  You can set the control as required in the properties window or with a trigger question. 

In this example we are using a number control named Logic_Rule and 2 separate checkbox controls named Option_1 and Option_2 (see image).

**This concept can also be applied for other controls (textbox, textareas, uploads etc.)

 

//Main Rule for "at least one" requirement 

// if A or B is selected then 1 will be entered in the Logic Rule field.  
if (Option_1[0].value == 'A' || Option_2[0].value == 'B' {
  Logic_Rule.value = 1;

// if none is selected then nothing will be entered in the Logic Rule field and the form will 
error because the field is required.
} else {
  Logic_Rule.value = null;
}
 
___________________________________________________________________
//Trigger Scenario:
if (Trigger_Name.value == 'Yes'){
  Logic_Rule.required = true;
}else {
  Logic_Rule.required = false;
  Logic_Rule.required = null;
}
