[NFB-Web] Frustrated with Webform

[Kirk Wagner]

I have seen this video, it was helpful to me also. 

Joe, after clicking “Add Element”, in the "Select An Element" form scroll down to "Option elements”, the first element listed under “Option elements” is “checkboxes”. Add the “required” option with an error message text under “Validation”. Hope that helps.

The wealth of features seems great, but I’m just trying to create a basic form with custom fields, notify predetermined recipients, and maybe send an auto-responder to the user to acknowledge receipt. I figured out, coming over from Drupal 7, that you have to create a webform content type and then attach that to another content type. Yet, I feel like the barrage of options misses basic things like giving you a field to list your options for things like checkboxes. I don’t think I even saw a means to make the question required until I viewed the question after it had been set up.
