Checking/Unchecking Boxes across the Found Set

[exizldelfuego]

So say we've a field on which we're using a checkbox value list. A user gathers up all the records she wants to alter in a found set and wants to either check or uncheck a particular value from the found set.

 

I've twice come across this issue and I can't really think of any good way around it. My solution the first time around was to create a script that asked for a name and then either added or subtracted the name across the found set. This solution stinks though, because one of the major points of the value list is to help ensure consistency and avoid common misspellings. Does anyone have a better way of dealing with this problem, or is my solution pretty much all we have to work with?

you could use a (global) checkbox field with the appropriate value list attached in the script instead of a text box.

Thanks for the idea. I'll have to give it a try.
