Validate multiple checkbox group

Validate at least one selection across multiple checkbox groups.

Overview

The issue occurs when checkboxes are split into separate groups, making standard validation require a selection from each group instead of any group.
Use a Custom Validation action or redesign the form layout to consolidate checkboxes into a single group with a table or column display.

I have a form, with multiple checkboxes (over 150). I need the user to select at lease one item. I know how to do this one checkbox group.
Because I have too many checkboxes, I decided to group them in different tabs, So I created multiple checkbox groups. Now I need to make sure that user selects at least one checkbox from EITHER groups.
I tried to name the groups the same and make them required, but that causes that user select an item from each group. All I need to do is validate the form so that only one item from either group satisfies the requirement and we can move forward.

Can you please help.
Thanks

Hi omidhz,

You will need to write a Custom validation to check that - or re-design the form - you could probably use a Custom Code action with a table layout to group them in four or five columns in the same checkbox group.
