Hello,

I want the data from the custom state be shown in my checkboxes in the repeating group.  
How can i do that? The state has values, but the checkboxes are not checked:

Well your expression is invalid, which is why it’s red. If you have a yes/no state, then Repeating Group’s X’s selected is yes will work.

Thanks for your reply, it’s not a yes or no state. The custom state is based on a optionset

Then Repeating Group’s X’s selected is Current cell’s Option should do the trick 🙂 (or if selected is a list, then Repeating Group’s X’s selected contains Current Cell’s Option is yes)
