I have a browser enabled form that submits data to a SharePoint library. On this form are checkbox fields using conditional formatting to enable/disable them. The setup is that I have Main Product checkboxes A, B, C, and D. I also have Sub Product checkboxes, 1, 2, 3, and 4. If Product A is selected, Sub Products 1 and 3 are enabled. If Product B is selected, Sub Products 2 and 4 are enabled, and so on. The problem is this. I check Product A, Sub Products 1 and 3 become enabled and I select them. Now I change my mind and uncheck Product A. Sub Products 1 and 3 are now disabled but still checked. My question is, will the values in Sub Product checkbox fields 1 and 3 populate their associated fields in the SharePoint library when I submit the form? I realize this is easy to test but I'd have to publish the form to do that and I'm not ready to do that at this time. Thanks.

Hi Jakester,

Since it's still checked, the field corresponding to that check box is going to populate. You'd need to find a way to "clear" the sub check boxes once the main is unchecked. For example, you can add a rule in check box A to set 1 = "" (that is two double quotes, to clear it) and put a condition where A = "0". That is, if "0" is the value you're using when the check box is cleared.

Jo-Anne,

Thanks. I used your solution and it works perfectly. Appreciate the quick response and the fix. Thanks again.

No problem. Glad to hear it worked! =)
