Required fields on a child object

I have a VF page which has a section with fields from a child object - these fields are required but I can still save the page if these fields are not completed. How do I force users to fill the fields on a child object.

Hi Olivia,

Are you using inputField tag ?
If so please set required attribute to true.

If you are using something else ,Please paste your code here.

OK but I have 30 of these checkboxes and I only require 1 to be checked Regards Olivia [cid:image006.jpg@01CD902E.8CD33640] [cid:image002.png@01D06248.31CCFF30] [EOY Finalist 2013] [10258-seal]

Hi 
​then you can use selected = true to make it check and uncheck

If the checkbox is selected a new section is rendered so I cannot have all 30 selected and require the use to unslect them

Hey Olivia,

Hi I have a VF page that references 30 checkboxes in a PanelGroup in a Panel Grid – when they are checked they open up another section – I need to force users to check at least one of these check boxes before they can save the page.

Hi

You can bind onclick event on the submit button..onclick of that button you can call javascript function and check if all any checkbox is checked then user can continue , if nothing is selected then show alert ...
