Toggle issue: What does this toggle? Nothing available

[jotafelix]

Hi guys,

I’m creating an App and I added a toggle buttons to create a checklist.
The thing is, when I select the field “What does this toggle?” it shows “Nothing available” and when I check on the preview, it doesn’t check.

I just need to create a checklist, doesn’t have to be linked with anything.

Hope someone can help me!

Thanks!

togles only work on db fields true/false. so you can change the value from true to false on a existing db record only. as an example if you create a db table called to-do and have a text field to hold the text for the to-do you would also add a field called status and make it a true/false. you then would create a list with a text and a toggle button and assign the text the value of the db text and the toggle button would be tied to the db true/false field.

Hope that helps.

@jotafelix it sounds like you just want the image of a checkbox. If that’s the case don’t use a toggle, use the icon “checkbox” instead. HTH

How did you achieve this?

It seems as though you can only assign the toggle to the True/False field when you make it a list. Otherwise it comes up as nothing available. The problem is I Don’t want my toggle to be in a list, I only want it to activate the property. Can somebody explain why this is and how I can assign the toggle to my t/f field without making it a list first

Hi @emils,

You can connect true/false properties created on the users collection without a list! Did I got you correctly?

Thank you

Hi there,
This is exactly what I am trying to do but it isn’t working. I have added a toggle to my Login screen with some text next to it says you are accepting terms etc. I have grouped them. I added a ‘To- do’ collection database with a Name and True/False properties. Under what does this toggle do - I selected ‘Current to/do’ then true/false. Now I am unsure what to do - I need the toggle to be a requirement to be checked or they can’t proceed. The text is a link to the terms preferable to read.
Thank you for your help!
