Question

Trying to create a checkbox using multistate objects- can't figure out how to "undo" the check

I tried using the checklist widget and it wasn't working for my purposes.

I made a multistate object- a box which when clicked activates a state where a check is shown over the box. This part works fine.

What I'm struggling to figure out is how to make that check disappear when clicked again. 

Any ideas?

Why do you not use the checkboxes learning interaction? No need for states, it will show the checkmark when first clicked, and the checkmark disappears when clicking again. I am not sure what you mean by 'checklist widget'.

I meant to say the "checkbox widget" which is one of the learning interaction options.

The problem I'm having with the checkbox widget is that I just want the boxes, I don't want the text associated with it. This is because I need more control over the formatting of the text than the checkbox widget allows for.

In that case you'll not be able to detect which option has been chosen, because the associated variables will not have the wanted values.

What do you want to do with those checkboxes. Maybe you'll have to create them with standard objects, and use an advanced conditional action.
