Hi,

I have been struggling with trying to create a select-all button that only selects items based on the user search.

For example, if I want to search for a specific group of people who all like green and all the green people show up in my gallery, I am trying to create a select all button that only selects those users and checks only the selected people (green) Check Boxes.

Use the same filter you are using in the gallery to select all.

Filter the data by what the user has, and when he clicks your select all button, change all of those records to have the check box checked.

So do something like:
ForAll(Filter(DATA, equation being used),This.checkbox = true)
or whatever you are using. I don't think my syntax and everything is right, but this should give you a general idea.
Generally, just use ForAll() to do something to each record you get, and use the filter, search, or lookup you are using in the gallery.

Or another way is to find all the current items in the gallery and use a ForAll(), but I don't know how to do that even though it would give cleaner code. The solution I gave is the rough and dirty way to do it - if you want cleaner go with what I just suggested I just don't know how to do it off the top of my head.

This is the current code
ForAll(Filter('Date_Name', StartsWith('Full Name', TextSearchBox1)|| StartsWith('Company Name', TextSearchBox1.Text) || StartsWith('Current Employer', TextSearchBox1.Text) || StartsWith('Studio Roles', TextSearchBox1.Text)), Collect(CheckedItems, ThisRecord));
UpdateContext({refreshGallery: true});
UpdateContext({refreshGallery: false});
It works for when I don't search anything and select all the checkboxes in the gallery, but when I search a specific detail like studio roles it doesn't check any checkboxes
