Hi all,

how can I keep the value of my CheckboxCanvas persistent when navigating between screens, both forwards and backwards?
I can't get it to work with the new CheckboxCanvas — or am I using it incorrectly?

Regards,

dKayt

Hi @dkayt,

A bit hard to respond on the information posted - where are these Check Boxes (in a Form?) and what is the Checked property of them ?

Hi @WarrenBelz,

sorry for being unclear earlier.

On Screen 1, I have two checkboxes (ckb1 and ckb2). I'm toggling between them, and I want the last selected value to persist when navigating to another screen and then coming back.

Properties of ckb1:

Properties of ckb2

I'm storing the value in a variable called varVroGreen, and I can see the correct value is being stored. However, it doesn't seem to update or trigger the checkboxes when I return to the screen.

Let me know if you need more details.

Hi @dkayt,

Do this on both checkboxes

OnCheck
Set(varVorGreen, true)

OnUncheck
Set(varVorGreen, false)

Checked
varVorGreen

There is an easier way with Classic checkboxes, which you should consider switching to if you have inconsistencies with the Modern item.

Hi @WarrenBelz,

thanks for replying.

I tried your first solution with the modern item, but unfortunately it didn't work as expected. But your recommendation to use the classic checkboxes worked perfectly! I'll mark your answer as the solution.

Hi @dkayt,

Using a Classic CheckBox, you just need to do this OnSelect of both
Set( varVorGreen, Self.Value )

and then the Default of both
varVorGreen

Modern controls still have a lot of bugs and really should not be used in prod apps presently. The code above should technically work on a Modern item, but my testing here indicates it does not.
