Posted on by Xinlin

Hi all,

I have a Checkbox gallery that is automatically set to all checked if a certain value of dropdown is selected. However, whenever I try to uncheck items and add to the collection, the checkbox checked all the items and add to the gallery. I couldn't uncheck item that I don't need from the gallery. Here are the logic that I set for my buttons, checkbox and gallery.

Checkbox property:

Default = If(DataCardValue1.Selected.Value = 'TableDropdownName''.Yes, true,false)
OnCheck = Collect(Collection,ThisItem)
OnUncheck = Remove(Collection,ThisItem)

I also have a Clear button and Add to Collection button that let users to uncheck the checkbox before adding to collection.

Clear button:

If(DataCardValue11.Selected.Value = 'TableDropdownName'.Yes Or DataCardValue1.Selected.Value = 'TableDropdownName'.No, true, false)

Add to Collection button:

UpdateContext({varResetCheckbox:true});
 UpdateContext({varResetCheckbox:false});
ForAll(Filter(Gallery.AllItems,Checkbox1.Value = true),
Collect(Collection,ThisRecord))

Try one of two things, with #2 being more preferable if it works

1. Try to add All to the end of the Remove
Checkbox property:

OnUncheck = Remove(Collection,ThisItem, All)

2. Try to change Collect to Patch below - and keep the OnUncheck as Remove like you had before:
Checkbox property:

OnCheck = Patch(Collection,ThisItem) OnUncheck = Remove(Collection,ThisItem)

See if it helps @Xinlin

Hi @poweractivate, thanks for helping out. I've tried both of the solutions but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

I guess the reason that causing the problem would be the Default of my checkbox. Now I'm trying to add a new button that perhaps to allow to click and "Select all" items in the checkbox gallery but didn't manage to do it. The logic I'm tried is this:
Collect(Collection, ForAll(Gallery.AllItems,ThisRecord))

@Xinlin In the above, I don't think the formula is even checking the Collection at all, so you are right this could be the issue. Maybe try something like this instead:

If(!IsBlank(LookUp(Collection,ItemName = DataCardValue1.Selected.Value)),true,false)

In the above, replace ItemName and DataCardValue1.Selected.Value with something else that makes sense for you if needed.

See if it helps further @Xinlin
