Rule If Checkbox1 is Checked then Uncheck Checkbox 2 not Working

Question

Hello,I have two rules setup that say if checkbox1 is checked then uncheck checkbox2 and the other rule is if checkbox2 is checked then uncheck checkbox1. The first rule works but the second one does not. I am trying to make it so users cannot check both boxes, it's either one or the other but they can also have both unchecked if they want too.------------------------------

After some testing, I agree with Mike.You may need to have a radio button instead and if you like the look of the checkboxes, then make them to be formulas based on the radio button (multiple choice) field.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Try unchecking the box at the bottom of the form rule, so that the rule fires "all the time".------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

I think I had this same problem and couldn't solve. It will probably work in one direction, but not both. The problem, I believe, is that when you try to click the second checkbox, they are momentarily both checked, and the first rule in the dynamic rules forms and keeps unchecking the same box.

I may have gotten it to work by leaving the box checked so the rules DONT fire all the time. Meaning only when there is a change. I haven't tested in a while and cant remember if I finally got it to work. Either way, I ended up abandoning the entire try and going in a different direction, but in my head it should work if it only fires when it is changed?------------------------------Mike Tamoush------------------------------
