Select ALL in SelectMultiple Field

Hi All,
wondering, if the problem is just with me, but would be grateful if
any one can guide;
if the field type is with attribute "SelectMultiple" and I want to
give one option as "Select All". so if i select this option and get
all the check boxes selected. possible?
regards
tariq

this is not possible without modifying the java code.

alternative 1: have an option called "all the above/below"
alternative 2: set default answers and have people deselect the ones
they don't want.

thanks

for example
alternative 1: have an option called "all the above/below"

Question: what color you like;
Option 1: All below
Option 2: Red.
Option 3: Green

If i select Option 1: is it possible that option 2 and 3 are auto selected?

alternative 2: set default answers and have people deselect the ones
How i should set the default answers, should i need something to put
in default value field, if yes, then what?

no. but if a user selects option 1, you then know the user intent to
select all and that is functionally equivalent. that is, you can use
that data for other parts of the form and it will be in the final
submission.

put the values of what you want selected as default. separate them with spaces.
<select_prompt>a c</select_prompt>

thank you :slight_smile:
