Dropdown field - fail validaion on choice of one options

ChronoForms v6

Hiya! Really simple thing that got me very confused. I have a dropdown field with options y=yes and n=no. Now, if a user chooses no I need the field to fail validation making the form unable to submit. I believe I need to specify that condition in the 'Validation rules' box but I am clueless as to what to put in there. Is there something I am missing? Thank you!

Hi divixpl,
​
Why would you have a No option that is not valid? It does nothing but confuse the user.
​
The 'usual' way to do this is with a check box that is required.

EASY. Just do
y=Yes
=No
And set it to required. This way No has no value, and validation will fail.

Thank you very much for help! That's exactly what I needed. I do realise it may seem confusing, I needed a drop down list where only one option would be invalid, above helped me just fine.
