  [#20]: Hello Yuriy!

  Thanks this is working. I have a few date and time fields (12) in my form actually and i need to validate each one.That means i need to set 12 different var-s, right?

  [#21]: Hi! Here is an example for two fields.

  fd.onsubmit (function () {
    if (!fd.field('DueDate').value()[0]) {
    alert('Date has not been filled!');
    return false;
   }
   if (!fd.field('AnotherDate').value()[0]) {
    alert('Another Date has not been filled!');
    return false;
   }
  return true;
  });

  [#20]: I am actually trying to make fields conditionally mandatory as described here: http://formsdesigner.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-conditionally-hide-disable-make.html

  The problem is i have two coditions but even with one it is not working so here is my code:

  fd.onsubmit (function () {
  var dt = fd.field('DueDate').value()
  var sdt = fd.field('SetDate').value()
  
  if (fd.field('Ready').value()) {
  if (fd.field('check1').value()) {
  if (Boolean(dt[0]) && Boolean(sdt[0])) {
  return true;
  }
  else{ alert('Fill the date, please');
  return false;}
  }
  }
  });

   

  The date fields showld be mandatory only if 2 checkboxes are checked. I also tryed:

  if (fd.field('Ready').value() && fd.field('check1').value())

   

  like this:

  fd.onsubmit (function () {
  var dt = fd.field('DueDate').value()
  var sdt = fd.field('SetDate').value()
  
  if (fd.field('Ready').value() && fd.field('check1').value()) {
  
  if (Boolean(dt[0]) && Boolean(sdt[0])) {
  return true;
  }
  else{ alert('Fill the date, please');
  return false;}
  }
  });

   

  It is giving the alert when the checkboxes are checked, but if they are not checked i can't save the item at all. I am issing something for sure here....

  [#24]: Yes, you have to return true in the end of your onsubmit handler.

  [#25]: You mean put one more

  return true

  at the end?

  Or just change places true and false in my script and change the dt[0] to dt [1]? sorry, i am learning everything myself :-)

  [#26]: Yes, after all the condition-blocks (if(){}), in the end of function, before '})' you have to put "return true".

  fd.onsubmit (function () {
  var dt = fd.field('DueDate').value()
  var sdt = fd.field('SetDate').value()
  
  if (fd.field('Ready').value() && fd.field('check1').value()) {
  
   if (Boolean(dt[0]) && Boolean(sdt[0])) {
    return true;
  }
   else{ alert('Fill the date, please');
    return false;}
  }

  return true;
  });
