K2 SmartForm, Checkbox ticks are not saving when clicking button

Dear,

try to use the "Execute a smartobject method" insead of "Execute a method on the view" 

try to make the rules in the "master-save" event to run as "One after another" instead of "In a batch"

How do you attempt to load the saved values of the checkbox list? Please let me know!

Hi Anne

There are a few issues you need consider.

Saving of the  selected checkbox list values

When you click the "master_save" button you need to save the selected values from the checkbox list. It looks like you may be doing this when you call the Create method on the rule. This will save the selected checkbox values into a multivalue smartobject field. 

Starting the Workflow

You need to let the workflow know which SmartObject record you have just saved so that it can tell the task form what data to display. You can do this a couple of ways - passing the SmartObject ID into the workflow as a data field or using an item reference. If you pass the ID as a data field you will need to map the return ID parameter from your create method into a field on the form or just into the views smartobject (if your view is using the smartobject as a datasource) in order to have access to this value and pass to the workflow.

Displaying of the selected values in the task form

When you open the task form you need to execute the smartobject read method (or view read method) and pass the saved value (as above) into the checkbox list. This will check the selected values. This is usually done on the form initialize rule. You will need to pass to the form the ID for the smartobject record you saved above in order to perform the read. This can be done a number of ways - form parameter, passing into a form/view field, using item references.

If you need some further help with integrating forms and workflows I suggest you look at some of the videos on http://www.k2.com/resources/product-demos

Hi AnneG,

As a test you can create a brand new SmartObject with two properties:

ID - Autonumber

Checkbox - Yes/No

Then generate a View from the newly created SmartObject (ensure that there is a save button that when clicked will save the ID textbox and checkbox values to the SmartObject) and give it a test run.

If this works as expected, then the issue is originating from within your form or smartobject, in which case I would suggest confirming that all the smartobject properties as configured with the correct Data Type which will resemble that data it would be recieving and also confirm that on your formview has a rule configured to the save button that is actually saving the data from the controls to the smartobject.

Kind Regards,

Raymond
