Hello!  
I would appreciate if someone could show me an example or guide me through an issue with checkboxes in a repeating group.

This repeating group is a category with a list of items referencing a thing called “Cross Promotion”; and what I want to accomplish is something (kind of) similar to “add to cart” or “my favorites”.  
\_The user should be able to select (or activate) items from the list  
\_The selection should be saved or remain on pageload  
\_Once the cell item is selected, the item should display in a different repeating group, created by the user

I followed some of the suggestions posted in the forum but got stuck and really needed to ask (not a programmer).

\_I have a field called CheckedActive (yes/no) for the Cross Promotion  
\_I am using a custom checkbox with a state “Checked” (yes/no) to display the button  
\_I have a state “SelectListItem” (Cross Promotion List) that I tried to use but got stuck  
\_I tried :plus item … … or :contains with SelectListItem but never worked for me

Thanks in advance  
Conny

Well never mind, I think I just found the right example for what I want to do in the forum.
