I've got a form with rules on the fields.  For example, if a checkbox is marked true, a value should be assigned to a particular text box.  If I query the form, the data populates but the rule doesn't apply.  If I uncheck and re-check the box then the rule applies.

 Any idea how I can get those rules to automatically apply?

Hi stormseeker75,

I'm thinking of adding a rule after the query to have the checkboxes re-check itself if selected. Hope this helps, if not, kindly attach a sample of your form so we can get a clearer idea of what isn't working for you.

That makes sense.  Do you think you'd have to do a rule for each field or is there a way you could write one rule to have it check all the boxes?  This could definitely work, but it would be a bit of a pain to have to write all those rules.  I guess it's just a one shot though.

I see now. Yup, re-applying the rules to all instances would indeed take time. If that's the case, is it possible for you to query the data first and hide that particular section before ticking the checkboxes?

 I did the work and put in a rule after the query for each different item.  It took a while, but apparently this is the only way to resolve that.

 
I think this is a major flaw in IP.  What is the point of having rules on fields if they don't work anytime the condition is met?
