InputFieldCheckboxes cannot be set to required

[cryostar]

I used the LoginRegister module for my members' portal, and part of the registration form is a field called "Where did you hear about us?" which is an InputFieldCheckboxes field. I don't want to set this as required on the user template because that would also be required for staff users as well. So I set up a hook before "LoginRegister::renderRegisterForm" to set it to required.

$form->getChildByName('register_referralmode')->attr('required','required');

It works for other fields that I set to required in this approach, but this field in particular is not applying that attribute.

Any thoughts on what could be the issue here?

Not tested, but you could try:

$f = $form->getChildByName('register_referralmode');
$f->required = 1;
