How to 'index' or identify the check boxes in a checkbox group - workflow5. Need Help!

I have a checkbox group in a Workflow5. When checkboxes are selected a 'ForEach' loops captures and concatenates the repective values to a global variable 'Input' to be used later. However, when the last check box ( say 'All') is selected, all other selected check box values must be somehow 'nullified' so not to capture them in the global variable. I know radio button has this feature by default but my form needs checkboxes as sometimes then may select multiple boxes but not the last box 'All'.

 

Just need a slight hint as I have tried many ideas to no success. Example below:

Thanks,

  Hi Deep,

   

  I've attached an example that will hopefully point you in the right direction.

   

  Here's a summary of what it does:

  1. Show a form with a checkgroup of hard-coded items. The final one has a value of "all".
  2. Add a "change" event handler on the Check Group.
  3. In the change subworkflow:
     1. Use the Get Form Event Data activity to get the details of the change.
     2. If the value is "all", this means the last checkbox was just checked. (When unchecking it, the value would be undefined.)
     3. Use the Set Form Element Item Property activity to set checked to false for the other checkboxes.
     4. If the value was not "all", make sure the "All" checkbox is not checked.
