Checking a checkbox when a user clicks a specific hyperlink

There are TOS documents my org would like end users to complete but that would make this specific form 3-4 miles long.

Rather i am looking for a function that if a user clicks on a URL, it checks a box off on the form dynamically.

Any thoughts? Normally I'd IOL and JS myself into a solution but new changes and such.

    You could use an API "button" in place of the URL.

    Basically when clicked call the edit record API to check the box, then present the URL (new tab, pop-up, etc).

      The thing is, I don't want the EOTI role to be able to edit the record.

      I've tried implementing a Faux Key field ID using the Power of One trick but knowing the Max Record ID of the table doesnt help when multiple people can submit at the same time.

        @G.Macri G.Macri you mentioned using JS to solve this... can you put it on a code page and use the link to call the code page before displaying the TOS?​

        Basically, pass the TOS URL to the code page and after processing the 'log' that you want, redirect to the TOS.
