LPL - CheckBox

patrick-domond

Trying to use a Checkbox as a trigger on form load and it is not working.

Here are my steps:

Use value from a Textbox to change the Checkbox to true on form load

1. Initialize the Textbox via the Parameter Rules

2. Change state of Checkbox (UActive50) to true (for any string except blank) via Entrance Rules.

3. Use it to trigger code below on the form

4. This is what I get on form load - Checkbox should be true and it's not.

I am missing an extra step such as a refresh but not sure what/where.

Thanks

Try this (after removing the parameter rules):

I am not surprised that it did not work. The Test field will be hidden and will be used strictly as a conduit.

I wonder a. about the timing of initial value rules firing. Are they processed after entrance rules are evaluated and b. "entered" could by iffy (if memory serves) with initial value. Perhaps try not blank or != "" over entered. and c. why use the Param "Test" here at all? How about going direct to the value? e.g. in entrance if (Position.UCrendential2 not blank).... Not sure if that works for your actual use case or not

Dr Awesome, thank you for your reply.

I have tried quite a few combinations and it seems that the Entrance rules is either not working or is being overwritten by something that occurs after it. - I am stuck on that.

On another track, we might be able to get this to work in the LPL form if there is a way to do other than a Boolean check. Is there some other way to do value checking?

Thank you very much for your assistance. This has been a bit painful in trying to do what should be simple.

Export the boolean field from the business class using ISD (making sure to select that the values are exported) true may not be working in your code. It could be TRUE, or YES, or 1 isntead.
