All about Checkboxes in Power Apps and using them for more than a Boolean Value

This video goes into using checkboxes with SharePoint & PowerApps. From using basic checkboxes to converting from toggle switches. You can even color code checkboxes so they can display multiple values, that way a checkbox can become more than just a boolean. Come check it out!

Cool, is there a way to make a drop-down choice into a series of checkboxs that update a SharePoint choice column,?

[@andrewhess123]

Sounds totally possible, but would take a video to explain, thanks for watching W RM!

[@MichaelDeBlasis1369]

My Checkbox is using a simple patch statement however when I check it it immediately shows as unchecked. The sharepoint list does update but how annoying. Ever seen that?

[@seang2012]

Does this not work for Model-Driven apps? I can't find any choice for a checkbox option.

[@andrewhess123]

No this is for canvas apps, Model Driven apps the UI/UX is less customizable
