Hello,

I have a checklist and I need a button to check or uncheck the entire column. It is fairly simple but have not been to do it.

 ![Screenshot 2024-11-05 at 9.11.19 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/e/ce4d3137b725240eec48c768ba34413939ef64b1.png)

Does anyone know how?

Thanks

It’s not simple because you’re operating on multiple rows at once. Do you have access to the Call API action? What plan are you on?

It is funny because I did something similar today:

> [@Bulk edit column values for multiple or all rows in a single click](https://community.glideapps.com/t/bulk-edit-column-values-for-multiple-or-all-rows-in-a-single-click/77644):

> I implemented a feature that allows you to edit values across an entire column, similar to the solution discussed [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/bulk-clear-edit-restore-and-delete-columns-plus-undo-action/59546), but using the official Glide API in a compliant manner. For this example, I configured a choice component that enables you to select the rows you wish to edit. There’s a button that allows you to select all rows or clear your selections. This flexibility lets you choose whichever rows you need to update. Once you’ve made your selections, you can set a new value for a specific …

You might want to try that to toggle your checkboxes.

You can achieve this with the AI component.

In this example, the AI component is used to reset at once a collection of mechanical parts Checkbox.

Your Call API method is only available on a Business plan.

Hence the thread @nathanaelb linked to looks like one way to do it.

The other way is involving [Make.com](http://Make.com) or Zapier in, pass a list of IDs of rows to be changed, and change them via a bulk API call (Maker has access to API via [Make.com](http://Make.com)).
