Hello,

Is it possible for a true/false data item to look like a Toggle Icon within an application instead of a checkbox?

Nextworld does not currently have a toggle switch appearance for True/False data item types because toggles are for cases where there is an immediate change resulting from the state change whereas checkboxes are for state changes that require an extra step to confirm the change (in the case of Nextworld detail form layouts, users must click a Save button to confirm the change).

Okay that makes sense. Is there anyway we could have a data item that was a toggle so we could add dynamic things that change state immediately that we could add logic to using UI logic blocks for on change updates?

@melanie.spence a Field Value Changed event attached to a true/false data item would instantly run and do what you’re asking for I think? Might look better as a toggle button if such were available, but the behavior I think would do what you’re asking for.

Correct thank you. Functionally the same but would be nice if we could have toggle on the UI. Thank you Ian for the confirmation on that.
