Have check box as field type

Amishra
Status: Delivered

Delivered in PPM 9.65.

It is a nice replacement for ACL multi-select when you don't have many values to pick from and want all values (selected and not) to be visible on the form without having to open the ACL Popup.

Make sure to turn on Feature Toggle "Enable Checkbox List Validation". 

See status update history

Currently PPM has different types of fields like Drop downs, ACL's, text etc. Can we add another field type as 'check box'?

  • Well not saying that we dont use radio buttons, but checkboxes are something that would be handy as well in PPM. 

    See example below - checkboxes would have been better; check this is done, check this is done..  as i mentioned it is just a user experience thing. 

  •  

    Quick question: Why do you use ACL or DDL to replace a checkbox? Why not use the Yes/No Radio Buttons? It's much better as a replacement of checkbox as it only takes one mouse click to set the field value:

     

    As a bonus it also supports NULL field value as no radio button will be selected in that situation - but feel free to set a Constant default value to it if you don't like null values.

  • Appreciate it Etienne, yes that is what we do, Drop down list or even ACL as work-around. 

    It was more around user-friendliness. 

    Thanks

     

  •  

    So far the way to "workaround" the checkbox is to use "Yes/No Button" validation, which displays two Radio Buttons with Yes/No, saving the field value as "Y" or "N". 

    This is equivalent to a checkbox, but I agree that a "real" checkbox would be more user friendly in some case, so let's open this idea for votes.

    Thanks for your input as always!
