Got it - thanks for the reply. Looks like I was reading too much into the changelog. I have a custom validator set up for this already, but I was hoping to be able to ditch that.

Hi Rafi,

Yes, that looks to be the same as the link I added in the post. I didn't see anything in the documentation about changes needed to get the validation to work for a checkbox group and wasn't able to get it to only require at least one checkbox to be checked in a checkbox group when testing with 5.5.2. I could just be missing something though.

Thanks Jason. I was trying to call

 $(".validate").foundation("abide");

before initializing Foundation but could never get it to work. Adding the data attribute through JavaScript seems like a good way around this.

Hi Jordan,

I missed this response earlier - sorry about the delayed reply. The CMS module is Low Google Search on ExpressionEngine that hooks into a Google Search Appliance, but there are a number of other modules that create forms without giving us the ability to add in data attributes.

So is there no way to tell Foundation that every form with a class of .validate should initialize the Abide plugin? I'm wondering about this for both Foundation 4 and Foundation 5, since it seems like an obvious thing to do with jQuery.
