## Function: Set Check box field as required

This function allows you to control whether a specific checkbox field in your application must be checked by the user before they can proceed or submit a form. You can also customize the message displayed if the user fails to check a required box.

### Input

  • UI element: The specific checkbox field on your application's screen that you want to make required or optional.
  • Required: Choose True if the checkbox must be checked by the user, or False if it's optional.
  • Required message: (Optional) The custom message that will be shown to the user if they try to submit the form without checking this required box. If left empty, a default message like "This field is required" will be used.

### Output

This function does not produce a direct output value. Instead, it modifies the behavior of the specified checkbox field within your application, making it either mandatory or optional.

### Execution Flow

### Real-Life Examples

  • Example 1: Making "Terms and Conditions" mandatory

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Checkbox: "I agree to the Terms and Conditions"
      • Required: True
      • Required message: \(Leave empty\)
    • Result: The "I agree to the Terms and Conditions" checkbox will now be mandatory. If a user tries to submit the form without checking it, a default message like "This field is required" will appear, preventing submission.

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Checkbox: "Subscribe to our Newsletter"
      • Required: False

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Checkbox: "I confirm parental consent for my child's participation"
      • Required: True
      • Required message: Please confirm parental consent to proceed.
    • Result: The "I confirm parental consent for my child's participation" checkbox will be mandatory. If a user attempts to submit the form without checking it, the custom message "Please confirm parental consent to proceed." will be displayed, guiding them to complete the required action.
