Checkboxes not working on a spawned page

Here is my code for the spawned page

var SpawnPage = this.getTemplate({cName: "table"});
  SpawnPage.spawn({nPage: this.numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
    this.getField("P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".table.Name").setFocus();

The code for the checkbox looks like this:

var nDisplay = event.target.isBoxChecked(0) ? display.visible : display.hidden;
this.getField("P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".table.Dropdown39").display = nDisplay;
this.getField("P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".table.Text40").display = nDisplay;
this.getField("P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".table.Text41").display = nDisplay;

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work. I have no idea how I should link the checkbox to the correct element on the spawned page...

Then use event.target.page instead of this.numPages-1. For example:

 

this.getField("P" + (event.target.page) + ".table.Text41").display = nDisplay;

Plese find a form attached. I have deleted all not needed information and left only the objects that are causing the problem.

PS. ON/OFF button is for the purpose when checkbox won't be working. In that case I would have to leave the buttons then, but I would really like to have the checkboxes working instead of those buttons.

Is the purpose of the check-box to show/hide fields on the same page as it is, or on another page?

On the same page.

Check the Javascript console for errors.

I thought that maybe it has to do something with this line: 

this.getField("P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".table.Text41").display = nDisplay;

I guess that it points everytime on the element that is spawned. In that case if I have this element at the top of every spawned page and it is named P4.table.Text41, P5.table.Text41, P6.table.Text41, etc. if I check one checkbox, that top element on every spawned page is checked. How to avoid this?
