    Hi

    I am not able to make the checkbox field required, Is there any way to make it required or default set it to true.

    Hi Shameen, 

    This wasn’t implemented by design because it’s hard to tell when a checkbox is unchecked, whether it means “null” or “no”. This is ideal - database wise. The recommendation if something should be a required field is to create it as a dropdown with only the option Yes. Therefore, someone has to positively say 'yes' for it to create/update stage.
     
    I certainly hope this helps!

    Hi Phoebe,

    I have tried using drop down menu as suggested to replace the checkbox. We set it as a mandatory field with "yes" as an only option. But in the ticket it shows "-" by default where customer can still submit it without selecting Yes. 

    Any idea how to fix this issue?

    Hi Carol, 

    It looks like this will need a bit more investigation so I have opened a ticket for you where we can have a closer look. 

    Cheers.

    Hi, the article mentions

    Industry in order to close a deal enhances analysis of conversion rates or sales cycles. 

    However, there's no default field industry in deals.

    @Julio,
     
    Once you are on the deals tab, you can try to go to +Field and search for it.

    Charlotte and Carol - did you ever get a solution to this issue? We need the ability to require someone to answer yes to a dropdown (or be required to check a checkbox), but because the default is '-', they can submit without choosing 'yes' even though it's the only answer.
