Views vs validation problem

[steve h]

I have a form with 5 views. One view has 3 check boxes on it that I want to
force the user of that VIEW to cehk off (turning them to TRUE) before
submitting the form. The problem is that other users, with other views, don’t
have these check boxes on their view. This means that if I set them to
"Blank" by default and then turn on the validation that they can not be
blank, well then the form fails for all views.

Is there a way to only have the validation occur on the one view but not
affect the others? Can the VIEW be used inthe validation or Rules wizards
somehow? By the way we are also using K2.NET but don't let that through you
off; I only put it out there so that if you know the task pane then that is
the submit button I ma tryign to use.

I simple workaround will help you out here.

put a datafields value to blank on the first view, on view change the fields
value changes to A or some other signifier.

Lets call this datafield1. Then set your validation to say if datafield1 is
blank and validate your check boxes as before, then when the form is
submitted it changes datafield1 to not be blank and then your problem is
solved
