Thread: OkToEmail not selected by default and make it a required field

We are able to change the default for OkToEmail to either Yes or No, however we want to be able to not preselect and leave both options unchecked and have the customer select what they prefer. However we need this to be a required field as well so that it doesn't submit the form before a selection of Yes or No is made.

Any advise on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Not sure if this will work as I've never tried it on a mandatory field but within createaccount.aspx.cs try changing

OKToEMailYes.Checked = (ThisCustomer.EMail.Length != 0);
OKToEMailNo.Checked = !OKToEMailYes.Checked;

to

OKToEMailYes.Checked = false; // (ThisCustomer.EMail.Length != 0);
OKToEMailNo.Checked = false; // !OKToEMailYes.Checked;

Yup I had already given that a shot, the problem is that it doesn't get validated as a required field and when the account is created it defaults to NO
