[Resolved] What is the best approach in adding a "I confirm …" checkbox to a CRUD form?

I'm looking to add a confirmation checkbox to the add and update forms on this site, along the lines of "I confirm that the details I am submitting are accurate and am happy for them to be shared with xyz". The user has to check this box in order to be able to submit the form.

I don't need this value stored as such, so don't think it would be a custom field (otherwise I presume the value stored when the ADD would then be retrieved when they EDIT and those should really be two separate confirmations) so would i just need to add a checkbox into the form manually then add some scripting to prevent the form being submitted unless it's checked?

Hi Simon,

You can just add a generic field to your form and just set it to it to required and ensure the field type is a checkbox.
Have a look at the link below.

Thanks,

Sorry, only just noticed that this doesn't seem to quite work in that when I set it as required even when I check the box the form won't submit as it says this field is required? Have I missed something? My code is:

[cred_generic_field type='checkbox' field='gdpr-confirmation']
{
"required":0,
"default":"",
"label":"I confirm I am happy for the details provided above to be shared with all broker members of the site."
}
[/cred_generic_field]
