In HelloID Dynamic Forms, nearly all field types allow configuration as required, except for the multi checkbox field. This inconsistency limits the usability of the multi checkbox, especially since it’s a preferred option for end users due to its clear visual layout — all options are immediately visible without needing to click.
Currently, we use the multiselect dropdown as a workaround, since it can be marked as required. However, this is less intuitive for users and not ideal from a UX perspective.
Suggested Improvement:
  • Add a configuration option to the multi checkbox field to require at least one selection.
  • Keep this setting optional, so the field can still be left empty if desired, similar to how other fields behave.
Benefit:
  • Ensures consistency across field types in Dynamic Forms.
  • Improves user experience by allowing use of the more visually accessible multi checkbox.
  • Reduces reliance on dropdowns and workarounds.
  • Keeps forms clean, intuitive, and user-friendly.
