Only one checkbox can be checked

[prabhmeet]

Hi,

I am a newbie and not too good in scripting.

I am creating a Catalog item and there I have 2 check boxes, I want that only one can be selected at a time.

I know this can be done if I create radio buttons but I have been specifically asked to create checkboxes.

This is the onChange Client Script on function variable.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

if(newValue == true){
g_form.setValue('menu','false');
}

This is the onChange Client Script on menu variable.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

if(newValue == true){
g_form.setValue('function','false');
}

Can anyone help with the script?

The variable type - multiple choice creates radio buttons. this can be used to select only one option at a time.

Hi,

I do not want radio buttons. I have been specifically asked to create checkboxes.

In that case, you can use UI policies to restrict values into the other checkbox

I would agree with Rad that the multiple choice is the optimal way of getting to this point, but if, for whatever reason, checkboxes are required, you'd probably need to write a catalog client script onChange of each checkbox where if newValue=true, then set the value of all other checkboxes to false.
