Toggling custom states

[mlewis2016]

I have a list of things, one of the headers for this list is ‘Price’ - I want to be able to click this header and the list order by price low to high using a custom state, but I also want to be able to click this header again to order by price high to low.

Does anyone know how to ‘toggle’ custom states?

Hi, hopefully you saw this by now… just use the “is no” when setting your state boolean value and the value will be toggled (yes to no; and no to yes)

Toggle Yes/No Custom State

Instead of boolean use a number n with initial state 0 or 1 depending if you want it to start as false or true. Then every time you want it toggled set state n = n + 1 When you want to evaluate the Boolean just use modulo 2 function on n So condition n mod 2 is ‘1’ The result depending on n will be n = 0 -> no n = 1 -> yes n = 2 -> no n = 3 -> yes And so on… This is you Boolean toggle.

Hi @mlewis2016

I’am trying to implement soft delete in my users, so in my root panel i put a icon button to toggle the deleted? state. Then every time that i push the button in my panel, the state of the user change.

For the workflow works like toggle button i try to send the current state of the user in his slug.

Try this:

1° Set the user slug with the current state(custom state)
2° Test the custom state, if this condition is true, do something
3° Test the slug, if the conditions is true, do something
4° Then clean the slug to prevent bugs

I hope that helps you! Sorry for my poor english xD

Please, if that a better way to do this let me know!

hey @marco.sens
a simpler way of doing this would be to have a workflow action “Make changes to thing…” where you change the “deleted” field as follow:
Delete = This user's deleted is no

This logic has the effect of always saying the opposite of its value.
