Hi,

I created a datatype with a lot of prevalues that renders as a checkboxlist. When I put this in a documenttype and make it mandatory the validation doesn't work. I also tried using a regex in the validation field to see if the value is empty (\w+) but that doesn't work either.
In only have 1 option now. Use a dropdownlist multiple which is not user friendly with a lot of prevalues.

Where do I submit this bug ?

Hi Dave,

You can submit a bug at codeplex.com/umbraco/


However, this is a known problem, as the validator is a standard .NET validator. It does not work correctly with a few type of controls such as the Checkbox list, Radio Button List, Upload, and possibly a few others.

There was a short discussion with the core developers about making modifications to the controls that would allow for custom validators such as a checkbox validator, but, I don't believe it is planned for release until version 4, which is ways off.

You can create a custom version of the editor control which will handle validation itself relatively easily.
