 Hello Lipi,
I would say that the opposite is straight forward:
prevent from saving if a checkbox is not checked: use Required Attributes For Type and State
https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_defining_required_properties.html

Now the prevent from saving if a checkbox is checked might be tricky,
possibly, I would create a hidden calculated attribute - value set based on checkbox - and enable save based on this hidden attribute's value

checkbox is selected: customAttribute value is null
checkbox is NOT selected: customAttribute value is NOT null

I would then use Required Attributes For Type and State with this custom attribute.

What I would want to do is this:
If a checkbox is checked, the on saving the workitem, all fields should become readonly, ie, it should not allow further editing. If the checkbox is not checked then all the fields remain editable.
