I’m not able to make Checkboxes and “Switches” required for my form submissions. Any way to make this an option?

Also, how about developing a “Scale” type component, where you would select between 2-5 options on a horizontal scale, with selection options defined by a “Selection” list? (just like the “Selection” component, but without a separately-opening list).

Still waiting on this, hopefully it isn’t that difficult to implement.

Option to Make Checkboxes and Switches a required field for forms is pretty critical for business operations.

Hoping for the required option on Checkboxes and Switches.

This is key for forms with critical control points, requiring an operator to confirm an action before they can proceed.

We have started using a hint element with visibility controls as a warning on forms if all checkboxes are not ticked.  
Wish required field was an option for the checkbox element @david
