Make due date as a required field in my visual force page

Hello all,

I have custom visual force page for our case page.

We have two custom checkbox felds called Followup_required and call_back_needed. So when ever one of those fields are checked, I wanted my due date to be a required field.

I wrote this code but it doesnt work

<apex:pageblockSectionItem >
                             <apex:outputlabel value="{!$ObjectType.Case.fields.ActivityDate__c.label}"/>
                              <apex:outputPanel id="DueDate">
                             <apex:inputField value="{!NewCase.ActivityDate__c}" required="{{!Newcase.Are_you_going_to_call_back__c}||{!Newcase.Follow_up_required__c}}"/>
                              </apex:outputPanel>
                         </apex:pageblockSectionItem>

Hi,

 

Try this

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >           
  <!-- Your Checkboxes here, onchange should rerender the below section which has your Activity Date--->
       <apex:inputField value="{!Newcase.Are_you_going_to_call_back__c}">
              <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="DueDate" />
        </apex:inputField>
 </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

<apex:pageblockSectionItem >
       <apex:outputlabel value="{!$ObjectType.Case.fields.ActivityDate__c.label}"/>
            <apex:outputPanel id="DueDate">
                 <apex:inputField value="{!NewCase.ActivityDate__c}" required="{!Newcase.Are_you_going_to_call_back__c || Newcase.Follow_up_required__c}"/>
            </apex:outputPanel>
 </apex:pageblockSectionItem>

I think you need to add "DueDate" output panel to your rerender code as follows:

reRender="callbackfield,callbacknumber,DueDate"
