Hi all, I am using a control GUI. A checkbox value stores the value in a table. Peachy so far. The problem rises when I open the control, it does not reflect the current cell value. Im using a Gui because it allows the user to interact with tabs.
How to update the chekbox initial value (in a GUI)
FlexSim 22.1.2
How are you linking the global table value to the checkbox? A coldlink? A coldlinkx? Consider posting the original model, or a small example model with the same issue.

Here is an updated version of the model:
I added a coldlink to both checkboxes. You can read more about coldlinks here:
https://docs.flexsim.com/en/22.1/Reference/DeveloperAdvancedUser/GUIs/GUIViewAttributes/GUIViewAttributes.html#coldlink
Coldlinks allow the view to be refreshed (the value from the node is applied to the view) and applied (the value in the view is applied to the node). If you add a coldlink, most views know how to refresh and apply the value automatically.
The only exception is that your view doesn't have an OK or Apply button. So I added code to the OnPress of the checkbox to apply the link. Now, when you open the view, the boxes will be checked or unchecked, depending on what is in the table. When you check or uncheck the box, the table value will change to reflect what is in the box. Note that to see the change, you need to click on the table to get it to repaint.
