 Yes, If I check the checkbox I want to copy to a different TextCopy#

You have three TextCopy fields. You can have infinite "Textbox" and "Checkbox" fields, and infinite sections. What should happen if I click the 4th checkbox in the third section, for example? That's why I keep asking you to explain what you are trying to achieve here - since it seems unlikely to me that this sample form is an actual representation of your issue. Like - will these be contacts and you want the user to select the top three and you are going to copy those into different fields? Or are these classes and the user selects the three they wish to take and you copy that data?

I have in total 20 TextCopy fields. I want to copy at least 20 TextCopy fields if I select 20 checkboxes.

 

Or if its more simple to only check the last checkbox of each section.

( For example: If I have check the first checkbox then I decide to select the second checkbox, Set the second checkbox as true and the first checkbox as false() )

 

I think its more simple the second.

So - the first checkbox selected would copy into the first TextCopy field, the second into the second TextCopy field, etc? What happens if I go back and deselect the first checkbox? The TextCopy field should be cleared? Then what? If I select another checkbox, does it copy into that now blank TextCopy field? Is it that we always copy into the first blank TextCopy field? Is that the logic you are looking for? May I ask (again) why?

If you go back and deselect the first checkbox, the textcopy field should be clear and if I select another checkbox then copy text to that textcopy field in blank.

I'm not sure there is going to be an out of the box way to achieve this - you'd need to filter the target of the rule, which can be done by manually modifying the manifest, but it can be tricky.
