Hi Community

I have a form which is edit mode and I want a checkbox to default based on the text in another datacard which is driven from a SP list. So when the text box says "Yes" check, "No" Uncheck, is anyone able to assist?

Hi @Kmayes

You can set the default property of the checkbox to -

(ThisItem.HasRectificationTakenPlace = "Yes")

Hi @Kmayes

Just so that I understand this correctly, the checkbox control is outside of the form and you want to refer to the textinput control that's inside the form.

What error do you see when you use the formula that you tried?

Hi@Kmayes,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to check the Checkbox based on the DataCardValue30 or update the DataCardValue30 based on the Checkbox value?

I find that your description is inconsistent, could you please confirm the requirements?

1). If you want to check the Checkbox based on the DataCardValue30, please set the Default of the Checkbox:

If(DataCardValue5.Text="Yes",true,false)

2). If you want to update the DataCardValue30 based on the Checkbox value, please set the Default of the DataCardValue30 as below:

If(Checkbox2.Value,"Yes","No")

Regards,

Qi
