How to uncheck a checkbox when another checkbox is checked

[JR Guieb]

I have the following situation.  

I have 2 checkboxes.   One checkbox (CB1) that has a ui policy to show additional variables and other checkxbox (CB2) doesn't.   What I don't know how to do is to have a checkbox unchecked if another checkbox is checked.  

I have a ui policy that hides CB1 if CB2 is checked.   That works fine but the problem is that if CB1 is selected and because it has a ui policy that shows additional variables, the additional variables are still visible even though CB1 is hidden.  

I think I think I need to write a catalog client script for this but I am not script savvy.   Please help

Here is what I which is doesn't work:

Type: onChange

Variable name: cb_2

Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {

          return;

    }

    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

if (newValue == true){

g_form.setValue('cb_1' == 'false');

}

}

Hey Arturo,

The function is:

g_form.setValue('cb_1', 'false');

change that == to a comma and you should be OK.

You can also add a script on a UI policy, going to advanced, and adding that line whenever you want (it runs script if condition matches, and if it doesn't).

Hope it helps!

thanks so much for your help.   I knew it was something simple.   Also thanks for the advise about putting the script directly into the ui policy that made it easier.

I used the following in the advanced view of the ui policy that hides cb_1 when cb_2 is true:

Execute if true:

function onCondition() {

g_form.setValue('cb_1', 'false');

}

Hi Guillermo,

So there is a problem now.   This script works fine when I put it in the advanced script section of the UI Policy but when I try to use it as a catalog client script it is still not working.

Also the UI Policy script doesn't work in the Service Portal.

Hey Arturo,

Yes, that happens in Service Portal, I just use the on condition when the UI policy doesn't run in SP, forgot about that . Can you paste the code of the client script? That's my workaround and it should work over there.
