Synchronize two groups of checkboxes

Hi Experts

I have 2 groups of 4 checkboxes, using different names and using different export values.

So I need to synchronize the 2 sets using the nWidget number of the ticked checkbox (I carefully created them in the same order).

I know how to tick a checkbox using checkThisBox but I don't know how to get the nWidget number of the ticked checkbox.

Here my not working script:

var nIndx = this.getField(event.target.name).nWidget;
console.println(nIndx);
this.getField("targetCheckbox").checkThisBox(nIndx, true);

But the var nIndx stays "undefined".

Thank you

You can get the index number of the selected box in a group like this:

var f = event.target;
var nIndx = f.exportValues.indexOf(f.valueAsString);

If no box is selected nIndx will equal -1.
