Resetting a Checkbox control to it's original state if user selects Cancel

Hi,

I have a gallery which contains a checkbox control, which defaults to a value in a collection. The user can check/uncheck the box and hit 'Save' to parse the changes to the collection. Note: The gallery is hidden until the user hits a 'Settings' button.

Screenshot 2023-05-09 at 12.40.16.png

The issue is that if the user changes the box from Checked to Unchecked the box (or vice-versa) and selects 'Cancel' or 'Close', it remembers the last state of the checkbox, regardless of what the collection value is. Selecting 'Cancel' or 'Close" simply sets the gallery to hidden.

I would like to reset the gallery checkboxes to their original state but not sure how. Any help would be grateful received.

Thanks,

Lee

Hi @eleet74,

You can achieve this by resetting the checkboxes via a variable. In the Cancel/Close button's OnSelect, add the following code:

UpdateContext({varReset:true}); UpdateContext({varReset:false})

The Reset property of your checkbox (within the gallery) should be:

varReset

When clicking 'Cancel', the checkboxes should now default back to the collection's values.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

Thanks!
