Forms Checkbox inside Table to Fill Out PDF issue

Forms Workflow

Updated June 18

asked on June 17

Hello, I'm having trouble trying to get a checkbox within a table inside Forms to go into Workflow Fill Out PDF those checkboxes. I'm aware some people mistakenly use Checkboxes instead of Radio buttons but I think my use is correct.

This is what the Form looks like, the check box is the last column for Special Handling / Hazardous:

The field option I have for the checkbox is "Yes"

The PDF export value for the checkboxes is also Yes, and each checkbox is a unique numbered Field

This is the Fill Out PDF Table in Workflow:

Note that the other fields in the table works fine. The Value is: %(RetrieveLaserficheFormsContent_SpecialHandling_Yes_Is Set)

With all that, the Checkboxes aren't being checked when selected in the Form, anything I'm missing?

Thanks

Use the instructions in this KB article to determine what values is the PDF field expecting.

I haven't done this myself, so just guessing here based on your token, but you listed this token:

%(RetrieveLaserficheFormsContent_SpecialHandling_Yes_Is Set)

I believe that token is going to return True or False based on whether or not the checkbox is marked, not the actual value of the checkbox.

There should be a different token to return the actual checkbox values:

%(RetrieveLaserficheFormsContent_SpecialHandling)

Of course, if your checkbox field has more than one checkbox included, you're going to get a list of the selected boxes, not just one.

And as I mentioned, I haven't done this myself, this is just a guess, I could be way off the mark.

Tried the KB article and the only other option was %(RetrieveLaserficheFormsContent_SpecialHandling_Checked)

and %(RetrieveLaserficheFormsContent_SpecialHandling_Unchecked)

I gave up so I changed the Form field to a single Radio button and changed the PDF also to Radio buttons, 20 different ones ungrouped, but made it look like Checkmarks when set. This way worked, it's just annoying if you're filling the form out and accidentally "checked" it, you can't uncheck a radio button without reloading the form.
