In a workout app, I have a set of exercises that the user completes. At the end of the workout, the user checks the box to indicate they are done with the workout. After completing a month’s worth of workouts, I want to give the user a chance to clear the checkboxes for the following month. Using actions and the set column values, I can clear the checkbox of the first day, but cannot clear it for the other days. Has anyone had success with clearing checkboxes in this manner?

Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row. It’s not about clearing an entire column, it’s about making a value in each row n…
