Checkboxes remaining checked

Hi guys, I have a questionnaire on my members area that my clients can fill out, but also can update whenever they want to. I have a code that pushes all of the checkboxes to one data field and works perfectly.

The drawback is if my clients go back into their questionnaire, the checkboxes are blank again and if they aren’t aware and are amending something else, when they submit, it erases the checkbox data in my data field.

Is there a way to get the checkboxes to remain checked?

Many thanks

Sarah,

Without knowing the particulars of how your push code works, it seems to me that you need to run code based on the same logic in the onReady function of the page to read the values from the one data field and get the appropriate checkboxes checked.

Checkboxes are typically connected to individual boolean fields when a form is connected to a dataset. It would be helpful if you would explain the reason why you chose to do it this other way.
