I built a checkbox list based on a collection from Xano. Now I would like to create a variable with an array that lists the names of all the ticked checkboxes. I was able to make this work with a different element through the currentSelection. However with my checkbox from Xano I am not given a cur…

Check this answer out, it’s basically what you need but with form fields instead. Same logic tho. [image] Are form variables not visible while the form is in a collection item? Ask us anything No need to retrieve the input with js. You can keep track of the values using v…

Thank you! With your tutorial I was able to build just what I wanted :slight_smile: Thank you so much

Hi Mariano, I thought I could replicate your tutorial for the exact same use case, just with a different item from the same collection. Here is a quick video to better explain my issue: The only difference that I think could have not made this work is that all the specialisation names a…

You need to use unique ids for this to work, it can’t work with duplicated ids because you can’t know which one you need. Once you have a list of selected ids you can get all the other data from your collection.

Initially I thought your suggestion worked using unique ids. The performance initially was fine, but I only realised now that when I start clicking the checkboxes very quickly the array eventually becomes inaccurate. This is still not the case for my initial use case where the ids are much “more uni…

It is indeed a method that suffer from race conditions, but it’s the easiest and quickest implementation. There are various methods to overcome that, like inserting every change in a queue where operate the same logic, or storing the data in a different way (an object like {id1:{checked: true}, id1…

I just made a wild set of selections but slowly in between clicks and found no errors. I heavily suspect this to be a performance on WeWeb, although then I still don’t understand why it’s not the case for longer id strings (or more unique as previously defined) I can work around this with a time de…

Do you have a tutorial available the data in an object like you described? I am still very new to web development and low code

[image] paulgassner: more unique There is no more or less unique, ids are unique or are not unique, and you must have unique ids for this to work.

Makes sense, but then how come I am not having the race condition issues in my other array that is set up the exact same way. They are on top of each other in my workflow could this be part of the problem? [Screenshot 2023-09-13 at 23.10.01]

There is also this tutorial for keeping track of the selection, plus a workflow to select/deselect all the checkboxes
