Question

checkbox field not showing checkmark when true

I have a checkbox field that is saving an integer if checked as true. However, when I check the summary interface the checkmark is not there but it does save the value correctly.

Please help. New to appian. Thanks in advance

a!checkboxField(
label: "",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
choiceLabels: {year(today())-2},
choiceValues: {year(today())-2},
value: if(
ri!Address_Change.'year-2',
{year(today())-2},
null
),
saveInto: a!save(
ri!Address_Change.'year-2',
if(
isnull(
save!value
),
null,
{year(today())-2}
)
),
validations: {}

)

    In your value parameter, what are you trying to do when you use "if( ri!address_change.'year-2'  "?   The "if()" function is intended to act on a boolean value, but you seem to be calling it on just an integer.

    Also, can you provide further explanation and perhaps a screenshot, helping us understand what you're expecting to happen (and why), and what you're experiencing instead?

      Hi,

      Thanks Mike.

      This is my current output on summary.  My expected output should be like the duplicate tax slip(which is a Boolean). I need the "2020" variable to be integer not Boolean.

      Regards

      but that doesn't really answer my question, which is what you're trying to do with your if() statement?
