I am working within Infopath and I am trying display a today() or a now() in a field if a checkbox in the form is selected (ie auto populate a date if a checkbox is selected).
I tried making a rule "if checkbox is not blank, action, set field's value, today()
but it doesnt work.
I was thinking of placing a IF statement
(TrueResult | ElseResult) [(BoolCondition) + 1] but I have no idea how I would format that.
Thanks for your help/suggestions.

Check the steps below.
1.Create a Infopath form.
2.Add Check Box control and a Text Box control into this form.
3.Click the Check Box, add rule->select "Is Checked"->"Set a Field's Value".
4.Set a field's value with today() method.

Here is an image of it. I want the default value to be Open when the toggle is selected as yes.
Change the Default setting for the dropdown control to a formula along these lines:
If(MyToggle.Value=true,"Three","One")
If the control is a Combobox, which is what's used for a SharePoint Choice column, then the items are records, not just a list of text. For a combo box you need to change the property for "DefaultSelectedItems" and set it to something like this:
If(MyToggle.Value,{Value:"Three"},Parent.Default)
Make sure that the value you are using is a valid one according to the SharePoint choice column definition.
Short question:
Is there any way to tell which item is highlighted in a Data Validation cell drop down?
Details:
I'm trying to make a tooltip (using a form that follows the mouse when that cell is moused over; will have to change this to cover the dropdown area as well) that gives more information based on the current selection.
I want to do this for the current highlighted item in the list, so that the user can get more info without having to select the item then start over if it's not the one they want.
I also am trying to avoid using the Form Controls & ActiveX Controls. That's more by request from the person in charge than my decision.
Im facing a problem with a hide-when formula of an editable field in lets say Document A. The hide-when formula includes a #DbLookup statement, where a field of Document B is read. Dependent on that field, it is hidden or shown.
When I open the Document A, it works just fine and the editable field is hidden. Then I go back to Document B and change the value of the field so the field shows in Document A it is still hidden. Only when I go back in the Notes Designer and save the form of Document A again the hide-when formula works correctly again.
So everytime I change the value of the field in Document B, I have to save the form of Document A again for the hide-when formula to work correctly.
Note that I use #If and #True/#False in my hide-when formula, as it is not that simple as I've explained above.
Any solution in order to make the hide-when formula work correctly?
Thanks in advance!
Add "NoCache" to first parameter of #DbLookup("":"NoCache"; ... ).
This will read the data from your Document B every time not just at first call (or after changing form).
There is absolutely nothing about this anywhere. So Just as well start one.
How can you select or get the selected index of a drop box (without code at the back) in infopath
The field that the dropbox is bound to will contain the value of the item that is selected. to change the item that is selected, change the value of the field.
I have a sharepoint list with several columns, one of which is a text box that is set to accept numbers. I would like to auto populate a drop down box based on the number entered into that text box.
I am not very code-savvy, and so far all the answers I have found involve getting a number/value from a drop down box to insert into a text field, not the other way around. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
You need to set the SelectedValue of the dropdown in code based on the textbox value. You need to add an event handler to the textbox (I believe KeyPressed event should be a good start)
