Question

List items checked from check boxes

Forms

Updated August 4, 2023

asked on October 22, 2015

I have a form that in the business process I need to inform several people of the check boxes checked in a certain field in the form.

Then this is what I would like to send with a service task:

I have tried using Java Script to fill in a hidden fields and can get it to work but not the way it should. I can get it to fill the field, but not take it away if I uncheck one of the options. (My scripting skills are sorely lacking!) If someone knows a way to pull the list straight into the email section of a service task or can help with some better scripting that I can do. I would be most thankful!

I'd say you're on the right track with the Javascript. Try something like this (replace the ids #q3 and #q4 with your checkbox ID and hidden field ID respectively).

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#q3 input').on('change',function(){
    var str = "";
    $('#q3 input:checked').each(function(){
      if(str!="") str = str+", ";
      str = str+$(this).val();
    });
    $('#q4 input').val(str);
  });
});

I have not been able to get this to work, has anyone had success or another way to get checkbox answers into a field?

Hi there,

If you use the checkbox variable directly, it should also show the value of the options you selected.
