I have 15 different 2-state toggle buttons. Each one is linked to a separate department in our plant. I also have a submit button that runs a script that logs the information from all the buttons selected(not just the department) on the form. How can I require at least one of the 2-state toggle buttons to be selected before the employee can click the submit button and log the information into our SQL table?

</div>

Bind the enabled state of the submit button to `{Root Container.2 State Toggle Button 1} && {Root Container.2 State Toggle Button 2}` and so on?

So would this only require one of the 2-state buttons to be true or all of them to be true?

Ah, right. Use boolean OR `||` instead of AND `&&`, and it the `enabled` property will be true as long as at least one of the 2 state toggle buttons is true. Making them mutually exclusive is a little more work.

You could just use addition and check for it being greater than or equal to 2 to be enabled.  
I would create a custom property on the root container called OkToSubmit of type Int and make its value something like

`{Root Container.2-State Toggle.indicatorValue}+{Root Container.2-State Toggle 1.indicatorValue}+{Root Container.2-State Toggle 2.indicatorValue}`

Then just set your submit button enabled binding to the property being greater than the custom property value.

`{Root Container.OkToSubmit}>=2`
