Check if Check Boxes (in gallery) are Empty

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 658

Hi,

 

I have some check boxes in a gallery within a new form, I would like to check if these checkboxes have been selected when a 'cover' option has been selected, this is to prevent any blank data being passed through when the form is submitted. Please see my code below, I am currently just getting a Blank or false return for the checkbox2.value check? I have tried Gallery1.Selected.Checkbox2.Value but this returns false too when the check boxes are selected!

 

togCoverRequired.Value = true && Checkbox2.Value = false,
    Notify(
        "You have selected for cover but not ticked any time slots",
        NotificationType.Error,
        8000
    ),

 

Thanks in advance.

    hey @BS10 

     

    you can try this:

    If(
     togCoverRequired.Value = true && CountRows(Filter(Gallery1.AllItems, Checkbox2.Value = true)) = 0,
     Notify(
     "You have selected for cover but not ticked any time slots",
     NotificationType.Error,
     8000
     )
    )

    Hi @mmbr1606,

     

    Thank you for the fast response. I have tried this below and also added a text label with the code 

    CountRows(Filter(Gallery1.AllItems,Checkbox2.Value = true)) =
    but this is always returning as true so it's accepting the form even if the checkboxes are not checked?
     
    Thank you

    @mmbr1606 - Apologies I should have mentioned, I have multiple other if statements so I just added this before the SubmitForm property, does this make a difference?

     "Please tick the agree box at the end of the form",
     NotificationType.Error,
     6000
     ),
     SubmitForm(CoverSpecialLeaveForm) // This is the final action if all checks pass
     )
     )
     )
     )

    Hi @mmbr1606,

     

    Thank you, I have just tried this but unfortunately the notification error "you have selected for cover but not ticked any time slots" appears even if checkboxes are ticked. Just thought I would mention that this does go through successfully if the togCoverRequired is set to no (false) but then the if statement isn't being ran.

    Hi @mmbr1606,

     

    I've just done a bit more testing, I added a text label and added the code below but the number just stays at 0. When I go into the text property on the text label, it says the actual amount of checkboxes that have been ticked?

     

    Thanks
