How to use multiple checkboxes in a catalog item instead of list collector

[tom_p94]

Has anyone had any success in using multiple checkboxes on a catalog item instead of a list collector? The requirement is for the user to be able to select multiple checkboxes which then populates a singular RITM and SCTASK with whatever checkboxes were selected. This is so users can select multiple hardware items.

Something like this?

Why not use multiple checkbox variables?

If you're trying to show multiple SELECT boxes, you can always use the Multi Row Variable Set:
Go to create a new variable set

Give it a name / order

Add a variable to the MRVS. This will act as a column.  Here I made a mandatory reference to alm_hardware.  You'll see a new property on the form called "Unique".  This makes sure the value of the field is unique among all other entries to the MRVS.  Prevent you from selecting the same value twice in one request.

Do this for as many columns as you wish.  Here I've got a justification field

That'll give you this interface on the Catalog Item

When you click the Add button you get a pop up to create one row from all the variables in your MRVS

Add as many as you like... (but you max out at 50 for some reason)

And the glorious part is in Flow Designer you loop through the results of MRVS variables in a For Each.
