I have a form I am trying to adjust. I want to make add a text field and make it required only if a check box above is checked. If the box is not checked no data is necessary in the field. Would someone tell me how to make this work? I'm a bit of a novice at coding but I have a resource who could likely help if we're pointed toward the process to make it work. Thanks!

As the Mouse Up event of the check-box enter this code:

this.getField("Text1").required = event.target.value!="Off";

Can I also jump in on this thread with a question related to this?

How can we hide that required text field and make it visible when the check box is selected? Will the code provided work if we add another code after it?

I'm glad I found this post after searching for a couple of days, and have the following question:

If I have two text fields that I want to make a required entry, after a box is checked, do I just repeat the code with the new field name?
