Checkbox not updating Datacardvalue

Hi,

 

I have a checkbox when checked changes a particular text field datacardvalue in a form to "NA" and then when checkbox is unchecked sets to "".

This was working when i created a new canvas app and practised the code. however when i used the same concept on my app , the form text field says name isn't valid, identifier isn't recognised. 

 

 

 

Text Field is a Datacardvalue where default property is RT1

This is the code for the checkbox -> On check property: If(true, UpdateContext({RT1:"NA"})), On Uncheck property: If(true,UpdateContext({RT1:""})). Screenshots belows shows the parent Datacard default property and 2nd screenshot shows the datacardvalue default property .

@nchandran 

 

Global variable will take care of that , lets troubleshoot by adding another new checkbox inside the form screen anywhere and add On check of the new checkbox the formula I will give you now , please do not modify the formula exempt the control name?

 

OnCheck

If(Checkbox4.Value, Set(varRTA,"NA"))

 

Uncheck

 

If(!Checkbox4.Value, Set(varRTA,""))

 

You will need to check Checkbox4 to the name of your new checkbox

 

Let me know

ok i created a new checkbox, this component is now called checkbox4. On check and uncheck property have been programmed with the codes you've mentioned. i realised the global variable needs to be applied to the datacard value and its works now.

Hi @nchandran 

 

OnCheck Checkbox

 

 

 

 If(Checkbox3.Value, UpdateContext({RT1:"NA"}))

 

 

 

OnUnchecked Checkbox

 

 

 

 If(!Checkbox3.Value, UpdateContext({RT1:Blank()}))

 

 

 

If use your form for Edit and New Use this code on the Datacard Default

 

 If( YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.New,RT1,             ThisItem.EQUIPMENU)

 

Change Checkbox3  and YourFormName  whatever your control name  also RT1 add Default datacard EQUIPMENU the control you wanted to reset. to "NA"

Facing this error on the DataCard default property. Aren't we suppose to place this in the datacardvalue then the datacard? ok anyway its not working.

nchandran_0-1627271326528.png

 

did you paste below codes to checkbox first as you will need Variable to be valid before the datacard RT1 to work 

 

 

Oncheck 

 If(Checkbox4.Value, UpdateContext({RT1:"NA"}))

 

Uncheck

 If(!Checkbox4.Value, UpdateContext({RT1:Blank()}))

 

Then add the Datacard the 

If(FormLoans.Mode = FormMode.New,RT1,ThisItem.EQUIPMENU)

@nchandran 

 

I Did not ask this where is the checkbox placed, same screen where the Form is,  or in a different Screen ?

 

If its same screen use same code I give you before.

 

If NOT then you will need a variable global in other words, a variable that is visible from all other screens within your app so we will need to modify our old formula.

 

CheckBox   -  OnCheck

 

  If(Checkbox4.Value, Set(RT1,"NA"))

 

 

 

CheckBox   -  Uncheck

 

 

 If(!Checkbox4.Value, Set(RT1,Blank()))

 

 

 

DataCard 

 

 

If(FormLoans.Mode = FormMode.New,RT1,ThisItem.EQUIPMENU)
