We are trying to use ValueListChecked with a repeating field. However, only the first repeating item is being recognised as the checked 'Checkbox'. Is there a way to have all corresponding values checked for all repeating items?

Thank you.

1a. The use of repeating fields is not the best design approach.

1b. All repeating fields can be displayed for a given record.

2. Chances are you can avoid the use of the clumsy (and imo virtually useless) ValueListChecked by using standard html with a reference through cdml to a field which is in your web layout formatted as a standard field.

Thanks Keith,

Whilst I'm a bit of a relational purist, I learned to appreciate the limited usefulness of multi-valued fields when I was developing in Pick (Prime Info) in the mid-80's. They are OK for fields which have a limited number of possible values e.g. less then 5 and the values are from a predefined set. They are handy for values such as phone-numbers.

In this case the repeating field is used for sports a person participates in. The reason we use a value list is so a 'pop-up list' search can be more effective and friendly (for not-so-smart users).

This is how we have worked around the problem:

<td><script>

fldvalue = "";

[FMP-Repeating: sporting]fldvalue = fldvalue + "[FMP-RepeatingItem]";[/FMP-Repeating]

[FMP-ValueList: sporting, List=vlsports]

document.write("<input type='checkbox' name='sporting' value='[FMP-ValueListItem]'");

if (fldvalue.match("[FMP-ValueListItem]")) {

document.write(" checked>[FMP-ValueListItem]");}

else {

document.write(">[FMP-ValueListItem]");}

[/FMP-ValueList]</script>

</td>
