Hello Hilary - thank you for your reply. Yes, I'd like to incorporate line breaks in the concat statement. Can you tell me how to do that for a browser form?

Yeah, you can use concat - set textbox 1 to concat(textbox1, " some other text here"). There are ways to add a line break too if that is what you want (but the approach depends on if you are using browser or filler).

Multiple Check Boxes writing to a Text Box

AXC2000 — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 21:01:14 GMT

Hello,
I have an Infopath Approval form with check boxes for different reviewers. When they check the box, I have rules set up to update specific verbiage into individual Text Boxes. Here's what I use for setting the field's value: <concat(userName(), " has approved this Article on ", today())>

Instead of updating individual text boxes, is there a way to rewrite the above value so each of the reviewers write to the same text box and each value appends below the previous value?

Here it is in a nutshell:
Current -
Reviewer 1 reviews and checks checkbox1 > sets field value of text box #1 to Approved
Reviewer 2 reviews and checks checkbox2 > sets field value of text box #2 to Approved
Reviewer 3 reviews and checks checkbox3 > sets field value of text box #3 to Approved

Future -
Reviewer 1 reviews and checks checkbox1 > sets field value of text box #1 to Approved
Reviewer 2 reviews and checks checkbox2 > sets field value of text box #1 to Approved (Value below Reviewer1)
Reviewer 3 reviews and checks checkbox3 > sets field value of text box #1 to Approved (Value below Reviewer2)

Thanks,
AXC
