Counting CheckBoxes

in a canvas column

⁠

How to check if all checkboxes in a canvas are checked? hi @Freerk_Lap , I remember that @Paul_Danyliuk has solved this before, but I could not find it directly so below how I would handle it (but I guess that Paul had a different way). First we turn the canvas column into a JSON object second we count the checkboxes third we note how many of these are checked the last step is comparing step 2 & 3 the rest is obvious cheers, Christiaan community.coda.io⁠

and this kind of back ground info is useful:

⁠

JSON Full Form is JavaScript Object Notation JSON Full form is JavaScript Object Notation. It is a format that Douglas Crockford created because XML and other data formats were too verbose and not human-readable enough. A JSON object is a collection of name/value pairs where the names are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, or even other objects. JSON is very popular in Web APIs because it has less overhead than XML and doesn’t require any declaration. codebeautify.org⁠
