Lol, three years ago! I still remember the project I was working on at that time. This was my first step into javascript and API calls.
If you are reading this and facing the same issue, I have accomplished this using api_editRecord, and javascript loops.
Please let me know if you needed more clarification

- RichRich7 years agoQrew MemberI am trying to accomplish the same thing. I have a list of records that I want to toggle a checkmark in all of them at once with a button. Right now, its being done with "search and replace" but I want to simplify it with a Button.
- QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainWhen you say toggle check box, do you want to check the checkbox all the same way? If so why not just use grid edit. Check the top box on the list, then click the column heading to highlight the whole column, then right click fill down.
- RichRich7 years agoQrew MemberYes I want put a check mark for all records. There could be thousands. We do it now with a search and replace but I want to do it with a single button.
- QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainWhat defines the set of records?
- RichRich7 years agoQrew MemberFor now, we have a summary report that we select the records from by clicking the column header to generate a drill down of the records that we want to "checkmark
- QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainThere are ways to mass checkbox, but the rules for what to check would need to be able known by a formula and not by where the user drill down into.
I still suggest Grid Edit unless there is a more solid rule to go by. If you set the drill down target to have few fields, you could be able to check 500 or maybe 1000 at a time. - AmmarAl-Hadeeth7 years agoQrew MemberRich,
You would need to create a code page that will run the query in javascript and edit those checkboxes. I don't know how else can I help, please let me know if you need someone to write those pages for you
