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>

    I suppose you already found the solution for your particular scenario. Just in case, here is what I did for the same scenario. It works as expected.

    You have to create a pair of nodes for each Checkbox you want to use:
    <myCheckbox
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox"
        text="Check this"
        name="./myCheckbox"
        value="true"/>
    <myCheckboxType
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/hidden"
        name="./myCheckbox@TypeHint"
        value="Boolean"/>

    Cheers.

      I ended up just rewording my dialog so its the opposite. Makes the author experience less desirable.

      Changed:

      Use default container [x] <-- always checked because I want it to be by default, but 'checked=true' is garbage.

      Do not use default container [ ] <-- reworded so now its confusing but at least it saves right.

       

      Another option: use cq:template node to set the default value that will make it checked by default.

        delete the node 

        <enable-delete jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/hidden" name="./facets-enable@Delete" value="{Boolean}true"/>

         

         

        and it will work fine. I faced the same issue.

            On removing "value=true", then on checkbox 'check' and submit will store the "value=on".

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

                  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 ?

                    Check these config properties. It works

                      <enable-delete jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/hidden" name="./facets-enable@Delete" value="{Boolean}true"/>
