I’m sorry I didn’t understand the question.

You can use setTimeout function

setTimeout( function (){
$w( ‘#checkbox1’ ).checked = true
}, 3000 );

@workiapps Hi ! Thanks for replying! appreciate it. Im afraid it get a little complex!

I have a database that ia have a field of boolean (false) but instead of a checkbox i have a button on click to set that field to true.

what I need is to have max time period that field automatic to true coz sometimes they forget to click the button.

setTimeout(function(){ 
$w('#dataset1').setFieldValue(“fieldkey“, true)
$w('#dataset1').save()
 }, 3000);

setTimeout(function(){ 
toUpdate.boolean = true
}, 3000)

wixData.update("PMONOWSERVING", toUpdate)
