Use checkboxes with date picker to update collection columns

Posted on by deltaformtech

Hi all,

I am not even sure if I can articulate this question, but I will do my best to see if this is possible.

I have a single Date Picker and multiple Checkboxes that I would like to use to update individual columns in a collection with the date value based on which checkboxes are selected. For example, I have the date picker set to July 20, 2020 and checkbox 1, 2, but not 3 selected. I would like a collection to update the corresponding column for checkbox 1 and 2 with July 20, 2020. Subsequently, by updating the date picker to July 22, 202 and checkbox 2,3 but not 1 selected, the columns have data added accordingly.

I am an absolute beginner, so please excuse my poor explanation and terminology! Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi @deltaformtech ,
Assuming the collection fields are data fields and the checkbox is withing a gallery based on the collection, you can Patch the dat as each box is checked. For example checkbox 1 OnCheck

Patch( YourCollection, ThisItem, {YourDateField:YourDataPickerName.SelectedDate} )

Hi @deltaformtech ,

What is the relationship between Columns and Check boxes?

I would suggest you add a logic condition to check if the check box is checked, then save the selected date to columns.

For example:

Patch( CollectionName, First(CollectionName), If( Checkbox1.Value, {Column1:DatePicker1.SelectedDate} ), If( Checkbox2.Value, {Column2:DatePicker1.SelectedDate} ), If( Checkbox3.Value, {Column3:DatePicker1.SelectedDate} ) )

Hope this helps.
