LPL question - IF statement on a form

I have a Button on a from that must be made required based on boolean userfield being true. ------ I get it to work using "visible when" but not with the "IF statement then required"

if (SBAR)
button of "<AttachmentsLabel>"
link is Attachments
display as link
required

I can't use Rules because it is a Form ---- any suggestions to another approach?

Thanks

Try:

button of "<AttachmentsLabel>"
    link is Attachments
    display as link
    display as required when (SBAR)

"That the user has to push it at least once?" - Correct

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but you want to make a button link required? It seems like making it conditionally visible would be sufficient. Since it's not an input field, what input data are you attempting to conditionally require?

That syntax works for a FormField (see page 79); looking closer at the LPL documentation (pages 77-78) it doesn't look like there is any way to mark a Button as being required. (I guess that makes sense; what does a button being required even mean? That the user has to push it at least once?)

If a CheckBox (SBAR) is selected (true) then user MUST push that button.

Visible when - is not as forceful as required and the user may not see the button

andy

So it sounds like you want to ensure the attachment is reviewed?

That seems tricky in LPL. I suppose you could have the button invoke an action instead of a link, and have the action set a boolean field that is defaulted and required on the form but not visible. Though, you'd also need the action to open the link and I don't believe you can invoke standard actions in user actions.
