you seem to be using semicolon ; instead of comma , in your Set and Collect values, maybe this was a typo?

Instead of setting a variable in the OnCheck property, can you use the Value property in your if statement? The If statement would look like this:
If(Checkbox1.Value=true,....)

You can achieve the collect in the If as well.
If(Checkbox1.Value=true, Collect(traject,{executive:"Mark"}))

I was looking at the code you supplied. The collection is populated by the variable executive. I do not see where executive is getting its value from. Is it possible your did not SET a value for executive and therefore it has a value of 0?

OnCheck Set(mark; true);; OnSave If(mark = true; Set(executive; "Mark "));; Collect(traject; {executive: executive});;

This problem has nothing do with commas and semi-colons. Its fine. Power Apps has different syntax based on your Office 365 language settings.

No, it has not. I am looking at this section of code.

{executive: executive}

To SET the value of executive your would need to do something like this before the code above.

Set(executive, "my value")

@Anonymous, If you want to use my solution on your Submit button and want it to change with the checked or unchecked box it would look something like this:

If(Checkbox1.Value=true, Collect(traject,{executive:"Mark"}), Collect(traject,{executive:"UnMark"}))
