Setting a choice option value based on a checkbox value (NINTEX Forms)

Search guided me to the following thread:

How to set value in Choice field based on value of other choice field 

Following the instructions there I did the following:

1. Set JavaScript variables for Checkbox and Dropdownlist:

2. Edit and copy JavaScript into Settings / custom javascript:

NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {
   NWF$('#'+varcheckboxYes).change(function(){
     if (NWF$('#'+varcheckboxYes+ ' input:checked').val() == 'Yes'){
        NWF$('#'+vardropdown).val('Yes');
     }
   });
});

Unfortunately this still does not work.

Hi Michael,

I had a look at your question and have your fix! On the form I have a Yes/No choice field and Yes/No dropdown list connected to a column:

I ran this script in the Custom Javascript of the Form Settings and validated that it works! 

NWF$("#"+yesnocheckbox).click(function(){ 
   if(NWF$(this).prop("checked")){ 
       NWF$("#"+yesnochoicefield).val("Yes"); 
   }
   else{ 
       NWF$("#"+yesnochoicefield).val("No"); 
   }
})‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Let me know if you can't get this working!

Cheers,
Scott

have you checked developer console for any errors?

I would suggest to stick with onchange event handler as in your former script.

onclick event handler just captures mouse clicks, so if you change checkbox status by other ways (keyboard,....) it will not fire your handler.

It Worked for me.

Hi All! I am trying to do the same type of code but for when two check boxes have been checked. Can you assist me with this??

Ok I worked on it a few times and I was able to figure this out.  I had to change my rule to evaluate the control a little differently.  I needed to show a panel when the choice control is equal to "Yes".  When the yes/no checkbox was checked, the JS ran and changed the value in the choice control to "Yes" like I wanted.  Apparently there must be some sort of click requirement for the rule to fire against my choice control.  So I added the rule to include whether or not the yes/no checkbox was selected.  I also needed the rule to evaluate if the choice control was "Yes" because there were circumstances where that could still happen.  So here is my rule
or(Expense!="Yes" && not(Opportunity), Expense!="Yes")

Expense = Choice Control (drop down list)

Opportunity = Yes/No check box.
