• I’m looking for a rule or some other method so that when a user selects a button it will autofill a separate checkbox field called New Item, or force a similar type of field to equal true.

This should be very simple to do:

1. Add a new rule to the button. Call it "Set flag"
2. Add a Set a field's value action to the rule
3. For the Field entry, use the Select a field or group dialog to select the field you want to set
4. In the Value box, just type true

That should be it! Let us know if your situation is more involved than this.

DISREGARD MY COMMENTS BELOW.  I ADDED THE () AFTER THE WORD TRUE AND IT WORKED.  THANKS. 

Thank you but perhaps I'm doing something wrong as I get a validation error when submitting the form with this rule (attached screen shot).

The "New Item" is currently set as a checkbox on the form and is the field I want to show True when the button is selected and runs the rule.
