Hi,

You write “I have 50 fields on a checkbox”

You have 1 checkbox field with 50 choices or 50 fields (checkbox type) with n choices?

Be more precise, please.

Hi,

I wrote this formula a while ago. Put in into a computed value and it will generate the HTML for the checkboxes, organized into columns. Set the variable “options” to the options you want (in a list) and change the variable targetFieldName to the name of the field in which you’d like to store the options. You als need to add a field with that name (hidden) to your document.

options := "option " + (“a”:“b”:“c”:“d”:“e”:“f”:“g”:“h”:“i”:“j”:“k”:“l”:“m”:“n”:“o”:“p”);

targetFieldName := “StoreHere”;

@If(options=“”; @Return(“”); “”);

selected := @GetField(targetFieldName);

@If(!@IsDocBeingEdited; @Return(@Implode(selected; “
”)); “”);

selected_html := “<input type="checkbox" name="”+targetFieldName+“" [id] value="” + selected + “">”;

selected_html_checked := “<input type="checkbox" name="”+targetFieldName+“" [id] value="” + selected + “" checked>”;

options_html := “<input type="checkbox" name="” + targetFieldName + “" [id] value="” + options + “">”;

options_html_all := @Replace(options_html; selected_html; selected_html_checked);

els := @Elements(options);

o := “”;;

@For(n := 1; n <= els; n := n + 1;

o := o : ( @ReplaceSubstring(options_html_all[n]; "[id]"; "id=\""+targetFieldName+@Text(n)+"\"") + "<label for=\"" + targetFieldName + @Text(n) + "\">" + options[n] + "</label>")

);

o := @Trim(o);

cols := @If(

		els <= 4; 1;

		els <= 8; 2;

	3);

mod := @Modulo(els; cols);

col_entries := @Integer( els / cols);

col1 := col_entries+@If(mod=2; 1; mod);

col2 := col_entries+@If(mod=2; 1; 0);

col3 := col_entries;

REM {add hidden field with same name: needed to be able to clear all checkboxes};

fldEmpty := “<input type="hidden" name="” + targetFieldName + “" value="" />”;

divStart := “<div style="padding: 0px; margin-right: 40px; display: inline; float: left;">”;

divStart + @Implode( @Subset(o; col1) ; “
”) + “” +

@If(cols>=2; divStart + @Implode( @Subset(@Subset(o; col1+col2); -col2) ; “
”) + “”; “”) +

@If(cols>=3; divStart + @Implode( @Subset(o; -col3) ; “
”) + “”; “”) +

fldEmpty + “<br style="clear: both" />”

Hi Mark,

Moreover i had one more problem with the code u provided. As i tried to save and access the targetFieldName. But when i viewed through document properties of the document, if i save using this code my targetFieldName was still blank. Am i missing something or can u suggest the reason for the same

Hi Shweta,

What you need on your form is:

  1. A computed value with the formula from my first post, marked as passthru HTML.

  2. A computed field (hidden for web/ notes) with a formula of @Trim(@ThisValue).

  3. The name of the field in 2. must be entered in the formula, variable “targetFieldName”. Note that it must be defined as a string, i.e. if the name of your field is StoreHere, the variable must be defined as:

targetFieldName := “StoreHere”;

That’s it. If you submit the form, the field in 2 should contain the selected options.

Also, if you don’t want to save the document, but need it on your web page only, you need to use JavaScript.

Thanks, Mark! To others, remember to make your hidden field allow multiple values. Thanks again, Mark. You made my day.

I have Alias set the values in the checkbox and i do not need to save the form just using the values in the checkbox and doing some operation.Thus when i use this code alias also get visible to user. Is there a option to use same wihout saving the form
