Question

Using the Invoke Business Process to populate a checkbox value

Workflow Forms

Updated September 21, 2016

asked on June 29, 2016

When using the Invoke Business Process in a workflow, I need to check two values on the same checkbox in the LF Form. The checkbox is "checkbox_1" and the two values I need to check are "I_agree" and "18_or_over".

I have no issues when I check a single value. this works fine Checkbox_1=I_agree.

The problem is when I want two values. what is the proper syntax?

The following does not work:

Checkbox_1=18_or_over
Checkbox_1=I_agree

nor does this

Checkbox_1=18_or_over, I_agree

Hey Bryant,

You have to use a comma separated list with no spaces. So for your example you'd probably want "Checkbox_1=18_or_over,I_agree".

If that still doesn't work, I recommend submitting a form instance with the checkboxes selected that you want, then going to Form instance and viewing the variables tab. The value for the checkbox there is what you'll want to replicate exactly.

Hi Bryant,

Thanks for this. It does work. I believe i tried every possible combination but with space that's why it didn't work for me. Going to variables to see its value is a good idea.

But unfortunately it still doesn't solve my issue.

It would be nice if the help documentation could be updated to talk about the correct way to enter multiple starting variable values.

I wonder if it is the same when setting Outflow on a gateway. In a Gateway in Forms the syntax would be like this: Checkbox_1="19_or_over" and Checkbox_1="I_agree".

No. That didn't work. Any other suggestions.

I have tried or, AND, + , , multivalue token.

I have tried them all but nothing worked for me.
