Hi!

In a trigger after update of a field (YES, NO), I would like the code select all options in a multiple choice (dynamic) if YES,

Which code should I use?

Thanks!

    You can try something like:

    let selDMC := for loop1 in numbers(dMCfieldname) do
record(tablename,loop1)
end

    This will put all selections of a dMC into an array. Change the following:

    dMCfieldname

    tablename

    to match your specific environment.

    Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear.

    I have a field1 Yes/NO

    I have a multiple choice field "One","Two","Three","Four","Five".

    I would like this:

    when the field1 checked (Yes), all the elements of the field2 would have checked.

    Sorry, misread your post. Here is what you can put in your trigger after update:

    let allTable := (select Table1);
if YN then dMC := allTable end

    Change the following references to match your environment:

    Table1 = the table name where the dynamic Multichoice points to

    YN = the yes/no field

    dMC = dynamic multi choice field name.

    Thankfully Ninox allows multichoice fields to be set by an array. Line 1, we start by creating an array with all of the records from the table.

    Line 2, we check to see if the Yes/No field is true and if so then set the dMC to be equal to the array we just created.

    Thank you so much!
    It works!
    But I didn’t understand why the expression

    dMC := (select Table1)

    selects all the elements.

    And then why is it just for the current record?

    I’m having trouble entering this code into the database that’s on Ninox’s server.

    It works perfectly in the imac app.

    The server reports the following error: "Field must return dynamic values: allTable in linea 1, colonna 57.

    This is the code I entered:

    let allTable := (select 'Natura Giuridica');
if 'Seleziona la natura giuridica aziendale' then
    'Natura Giuridica Aziende' := allTable
else
    'Natura Giuridica Aziende' := null
end

     Usually a trigger after update of a field only affects the record you are on.

    Are you asking to make the trigger affect ALL records in the table?

    end

      In the server Ninox, this code works only on click in a button.

    this code worked for me. In my case I wrote every Fieldnumber, which needs to get selected and if the "Yes/No" Field is turned off again, the selections in the multiple Choice Field are made undone.

     

    let allTable := (select Vorausplanung);
if 'Alle Monate auswählen' = true then
    Monatauswahl := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
else
    if 'Alle Monate auswählen' = false then
        Monatauswahl := [0]
    end
end

    In this case Vorausplanung is the Table where I want to get the code executed

    'Alle Monate auswählen' is the ON/OFF Switch
    'Monatauswahl' is the Multiple Choice Field with 12 months.
