This is sort of like designing a complicated apparatus for a really simple
problem.

I sort of see the issue, but am not really sure if you mean a "true/false"
data element as opposed to a yes/no. If you use "Yes only", then the value
will be non-null only when checked. If so, then the compulsory pair should
work.

Regards,
Jason
