I would like to know better way to select a row from a grid. Appian 6

Since you are in an old version you can use a different approach:

1. Use JavaScript validation so the user cannot select more than one. See example at forum.appian.com/.../48235

In the example I am simply doing a Custom JS Validation.

return window.FormAPI.getValue("favActorCheckbox").id.split("1").length -1 == 1

2. Use JavaScript to uncheck all previously checkboxes except for the one that the user is clicking on. See example at forum.appian.com/.../48235

his function does the trick:

function checkDoneWhenAnsweredPara(answerFieldInput, doneCheckboxFieldInput) {

var selectedIndex = window.FormDesigner.lastRowEvent;
if (selectedIndex == 0) {
answerField = $('#fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+answerFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
doneCheckBox = $('#checkboxControl_fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+doneCheckboxFieldInput);
} else {
answerField = $('#fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+answerFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
doneCheckBox = $('#checkboxControl_fd_component_' + window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace+doneCheckboxFieldInput+ '_' + selectedIndex);
}
if (answerField != null && answerField.html() != '') {
doneCheckBox.attr('checked',true);
} else {
doneCheckBox.attr('checked',false);
}
}


In the example, the process model is under Process Models – Forum and is called Checkboxes and Paragraph Grid with a JavaScript file called gridYesNoAndParagraph.js under Default Community > Temporary Documents Knowledge Center > Temporary Documents>JS Libraries.
