Check/uncheck other checkboxes

Posted on by biancadevera

I have 5 checkboxes in Power Apps in which the data type of each column is in boolean (SharePoint):

All
EmpA
EmpB
EmpC
EmpD

What I would like to do is whenever I check the All, it would check the other checkboxes and when I uncheck, it will uncheck everything as well. Also, I'm currently using Patch function to update the value in SharePoint. Please help.

Re: Check/uncheck other checkboxes

Hi @biancadevera ,

This can be achieved by setting the Default property of EmpA-D to All.Value. Like this, whenever you (un)check the All checkbox, the other 4 will take the new value of the All checkbox.

Re: Check/uncheck other checkboxes

Thanks, @BCBuizer . I have another question though. What if I only select specific checkboxes and patch the value to my SharePoint? How's the Default value would look like? Assuming I didn't check the All but the EmpA is checked. Wouldn't it show uncheck because of the All.Value in my Default?

Re: Check/uncheck other checkboxes

Hi @biancadevera ,

That might indeed be the case, depending on the context of your app. However, I wasn't aware of the context, so perhaps you can share how these checkboxes are currently working?

Hi @BCBuizer

See my codes below:

OnCheck
Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {All: true});

OnUncheck
Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {All: false});

EmpA
OnCheck
Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {EmpA: true});

OnUncheck
Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {EmpA: false});

All - Default
ThisItem.All

EmpA - Default
ThisItem.EmpA

Please note that the columns for All, EmpA-D are in Boolean type.

Hi @biancadevera ,

In this case you may patch the colums in the datasource directly in the (un)check property of the All checkbox:

OnCheck:

Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {All: true, EmpA: true, EmpB: true, EmpC: true, EmpD: true });

OnUnCheck:

Patch(db, LookUp(db,lblEmployees.Text = ThisItem.Employee.Value), {All: false, EmpA: false, EmpB: false, EmpC: false, EmpD: false });

There may not even be a need for the All column in your data source anymore.
