Jetpack: Checkbox Required Toggle Missing

[jomurgel]

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Add Jetpack Form
2. Add Checkbox field
3. View block controls and confirm checkbox "required" toggle is missing

What I expected

Should be able to require a checkbox field via editor view InspectorControls toggle.

• Tested working in Jetpack version 8.5
• Missing in version 8.6+

The field itself still supports required adding the "required" attribute to the code view like this:

<!-- wp:jetpack/field-checkbox {"label":"Checkbox Test", "required":true} /-->

But this is not user-friendly. A typical user would expect the ability to add this attribute using a GUI toggle.

Removed in #15876.

What happened instead

No InspectorControls "required" toggle exists.

You should be able to control this setting here:

cc @apeatling Maybe we should add a toggle in the inspector controls as well?

Adding the "Needs Design" label as well to get another opinion.

This is missing on a single checkbox field. I will work on a PR to add this. I mistakenly thought required didn't apply to a single checkbox because it would always force it to be checked regardless of value.

@apeatling we've had a question about this in the wpcom forums as well. Will this fix be applied to wpcom automatically with the JP release that contains it?

Looks like there's a Calypso issue for this as well in https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/42956

Will this fix be applied to wpcom automatically with the JP release that contains it?

I've just applied the fix to WordPress.com; the problem is fixed there, and will be available for Jetpack and Atomic users on July 7.
