Adobe DC - Use checkbox to turn required fields on and off

Hello:

I am hoping someone can help me with whatever I missing in this if statement.
I would like all the fields on the same page
when the checkbox equals "on"

  • require all the fields

 when the checkbox is "off"

  • clear the fields and remove the required from all the fields


All fields are on the same page, but there a a couple of exceptions, so I cant use the whole page (but I would like to know how to do that for future reference)

Here is what I tried. I have added and removed ' } ; in many combination and cant seem to get this.

Action - Mouse Up > run java

var f1 = this.getField("M M");
var f2 = this.getField("M T");
var f3 = this.getField("TMF");
var f4 = this.getField("TMT");
var f5 = this.getField("WMF");
var f6 = this.getField("WMT");
var f7 = this.getField("THMF");
var f8 = this.getField("THMT");
var f9 = this.getField("FMF");
var f10 = this.getField("FMT");
var f11 = this.getField("BulkAppt");
var f12 = this.getField("TruckType");
var f13 = this.getField("Pump");
var f14 = this.getField("HoseLength");
var f15 = this.getField("ContMate");
var f16 = this.getField("ContSize");
var f17 = this.getField("ContType");
var f18 = this.getField("LoadMeans");
var f19 = this.getField("Grounded");
var f20 = this.getField("Text_AddBulkReq");
var f21 = this.getField("Text_SpecificTankLoc");

if(event.target.value!="On")
{
f1.required=true;
f2.required=true;
f3.required=true;
f4.required=true;
f5.required=true;
f6.required=true;
f7.required=true;
f8.required=true;
f9.required=true;
f10.required=true;
f11.required=true;
f12.required=true;
f13.required=true;
f14.required=true;
f15.required=true;
f16.required=true;
f17.required=true;
f18.required=true;
f19.required=true;
f20.required=true;
f21.required=true;
}

elseif(event.target.value!="Off")
{

f1.required=false;
f2.required=false;
f3.required=false;
f4.required=false;
f5.required=false;
f6.required=false;
f7.required=false;
f8.required=false;
f9.required=false;
f10.required=false;
f11.required=false;
f12.required=false;
f13.required=false;
f14.required=false;
f15.required=false;
f16.required=false;
f17.required=false;
f18.required=false;
f19.required=false;
f20.required=false;
f21.required=false;
}

    Try this:

    var fields = ["M M","M T","TMF","TMT","WMF","WMT","THMF","THMT","FMF","FMT","BulkAppt","TruckType","Pump","HoseLength","ContMate","ContSize","ContType","LoadMeans","Grounded","Text_AddBulkReq","Text_SpecificTankLoc"];

for( var i in fields){
 if(event.target.value != "Off")
  this.getField(fields[i]).required = true;
 else{
  this.getField(fields[i]).required = false;
  this.getField(fields[i]).value = "";}}
