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>

      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 ?

        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.
