Actual Post:

Hi,

Using AEM 6.1, Touch Ui dialogs, I have a checkbox (checked by default).

 

1. Checkbox is checked (first time, be default)

2. Uncheck the checkbox and submit the dialog

3. Open the dialog, it is still checked.

Question: Is there any way to uncheck the checkbox in Step 3 above

    After playing around, here is the approach I use now involves using cq:template to prefill the resource with a checked value. Just make sure the name of the value you are saving, and the value that is set when checked are present in the cq:template.

    Component:

    cq:dialog:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" jcr:title="Checkbox" sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog" helpPath="en/cq/current/wcm/default_components.html#Image"> <content jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container"> <layout jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns" margin="{Boolean}false" type="nav"/> <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <column jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/container"> <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"> <hideMobile jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox" name="./myValue" text="Check By Default" value="isChecked"/> </items> </column> </items> </content> </jcr:root>

     

    cq:template

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0" jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" myValue="isChecked"> </jcr:root>

     

    checkbox.html

    <h1>${properties.myValue}</h1>

      In the Touch UI, a checkbox is based on this data type: 

      https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/ref/granite-ui/api/jcr_root/libs/granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox/index.html

      See:

      checked boolean
      Indicates if the checkbox is checked. Providing checked property (either true or false) will imply ignoreData to be true.

        Thank you for the response.

        While using the checkbox, with 
        -checked=true, 
        -value=true
        On submitting the dialog will store the string as 'true' in the JCR.

        Now again, if the user opens the dialog and uncheck the checkbox and submit the dialog, what will get stored in the JCR ?

        On opening the Dialog again, the checkbox seems always checked.

        How can the capability to uncheck the checkbox be provided to the user ?

                Thank you for the response.

                My requirement is to have the default checkbox as 'checked',

                1. When user opens the dialog, first time he will see the checkbox as 'checked'.

                2. User unchecks the dialog, and submit the dialog

                3. When user reopens the dialog, the checkbox should be unchecked. 

                Question: How to achieve Step 3, if this checkbox is marked as checked=true ?

                    Remove the "value=true".  This sets the value every time.
