Hi,

Hi @Jo_Sh

Hope you are doing well. Per the description, I understand that you want to populate a text field with clicks on the check box.

I have found a thread that has a solution similar to your question. Please click the link: Solved: Populate checkbox with a button click - need help wi... 

Let me know if this helps.

As 'Mouse UP' action of that checkbox, add this script and change "Text field name" to your actual name of that text field:

this.getField("Text field name").value = event.target.value == "Off" ? "" : "UNCLASSIFIED";

Thanbks so much! is there a way to lock out the other boxes once one is selected?

Yes, you can set them to read-only, but you will have to use script in each checkbox, and change names for each checkbox, let's say your checkboxes are named "Review Type.0-3" use something like this as Mouse UP action for first checkbox:

this.getField("Review Type.1").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;
this.getField("Review Type.2").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;
this.getField("Review Type.3").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;

Then in second checkbox just change field names like this:

this.getField("Review Type.0").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;
this.getField("Review Type.2").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;
this.getField("Review Type.3").readonly = event.target.value == "Off" ? false : true;

etc... for rest of the checkboxes.
