onCheck not working

I have a checkbox on my form and a multi-line box with the visible property set to false. I used the onCheck property set to

BadgeComments_DataCard1.Visible = true

When the checkbox is checked, the card containing my multi-line box does not become visible as set in the formula. I've tried everything and it still won't work.

The checkboxe was initially a toggle switch but I changed it to a checkbox, but I get no errors so I don't think that could have been the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You need to use a variable for this functionality. Use the onCheck property to set the variable to true, then put the variable in the Visible property of the multi-line box.

Checkbox is inside form? Like Yes/No type column? or outside form just normal checkbox.
If it's outside form just write on your comment data card visible property:
Checkbox1.Value=true

It's a checkbox inside the form.

No need - Just put the variable in the Visible property of the control you want to be controlled by the checkbox. Then put the Set(variable, true) in your onCheck property. If it needs to be a toggle, you can put Set(variable, false) in the OnunCheck property. Otherwise you can put the false in another control. You could also put the false in the onVisible of the page to make sure it will be invisible if you navigate back to the page later in a session.
