Does this still work? I don't get it to work
Hi @Philffer, welcome to the community!
Here are a couple of articles that show how to use radio buttons and checkboxes:
Hope those help, and let us know if you have any further questions.
Hey Alyssa,
thanks for the fast reply. The radio buttons work but the multi select does not work.
Hi @Philffer
Checkboxes allow you to make multiple selections of different values or items. Could you elaborate on what exactly is not working for your case? We're happy to help you out.
Sure. So I have an table "Application" and an table "Comment". I want to choose multiple rows from the "Comment" table and save them in a new table "Application_Comments", which represents a many-to-many relation between the applications and comments. I can only choose one option from the selection of comments.
Hope this clarifies my use case
Hi @Philffer
Got it, sounds like you may have had a field that was a rowlink (this feature only selects one row value for that field).
For an idea that uses checkboxes to select specified rows, you can set up an automation with on a button that writes specified rows if particular boxes are checked. This is how it would look:
Here's a table of comments you may want to add to application:
In Builder, I added a checkbox to represent each comment. On the button, there's an automation step for each check box, and in the Run Options of the step, I added a formula to checks if the box is selected (or TRUE). If it is true, it will write the comment to a table that associates the comment to an application:
This is the table that it writes to:
And in the table that stores the applications, you can create a filter for all of the comments associated to each application. Here's an example formula:
=FILTER(ApplicationComments,"ApplicationComments[Application]=Applications[Application ID]")
Hope that idea helps!
