I am trying to create a fillable document with multiple tiers with check boxes, and if any of the check boxes in that tier is selected, I would like the narrative field below that tier to become required. For example: Tier 1:Selection 1Selection 2Selection 3Selection 4Selection 5Tier 1 Narrative Tier 2:Selection 6Selection 7Selection 8Selection 9Selection 10Tier 2 Narrative What I'm looking for is if any of Sections 1-5 are selected, Tier 1 Narrative becomes required, and if any of Selections 6-10 are selected, tier 2 narrative becomes required, and so on and so forth.

I am trying to create a fillable document with multiple tiers with check boxes, and if any of the check boxes in that tier is selected, I would like the narrative field below that tier to become required.

For example:

Tier 1:

Selection 1
Selection 2
Selection 3
Selection 4
Selection 5
Tier 1 Narrative

Tier 2:

Selection 6
Selection 7
Selection 8
Selection 9
Selection 10
Tier 2 Narrative

What I'm looking for is if any of Sections 1-5 are selected, Tier 1 Narrative becomes required, and if any of Selections 6-10 are selected, tier 2 narrative becomes required, and so on and so forth.

Be aware the required property is only enforced when the file is submitted, not when saved, printed, emailed, etc.

Let's say checkboxes are named "Selection 1" to 5, use this as custom calculation script of Tier 1 text field:

var req = false;
for(var i=1; i<=5; i++){
var f = this.getField("Selection "+i).valueAsString;
if(f !== "Off")
req = true;}
event.target.required = req;

For other tiers, adjust loop like this for tier 2: for(var i=6; i<=10; i++){
