I have a grid with 3 columns for fields with yes/no values. Is there any way to make it so that as I enter an item into that grid it automatically puts a checkmark in all 3 columns (as it does for the defaul field for the grid), and then I could uncheck one of them if I wanted.

Yup:

To have this autoassignment in this grid only: Grid properties > Data > Auto assign the following fields : enter the list of fields.
To have this autoassignment always enforced (all grid, properties pane, etc): the grid source field > properties > equations > autoassign rules: enter:
- A:OtherField1 | A:OtherField2
  (more rules can be added to control what happens if you remove a field value. see 3. InfoQube Data: Items, Fields, Tags and Links)

Jeez, this thing is just AMAZING!

Can you give me an example of how this should be entered? I've tried it several ways to no avail, have also closed and reopened the grid each time in case that was the issue. In fact, even if I use the drop down menu and let the program do it and select only one field, it still doesn't auto-fill it. Let's say I have two fields named "Test" and "Remote". How would I type them in and separate them?

it says to type a "comma seperated list"

I tried

Inbox,ToDo

no spaces - that didnt work even after restart...

Thanks, yep, I tried that, and a bunch of other stuff. I also noticed that if you use the drop down sometimes (seemingly at random) it puts [brackets] around the field. So I tried that too with and without commas with no luck. But as I said, I even tried only one field with and without brackets and that would not work either.

Pierre?

Oups... I did some code refactoring a while back and broke this feature. It is now fixed (in next release, today hopefully) [edit] Released (updated 0.9.24 pre-rel 7)

Pierre, this is TOTALLY bizarre because it was most definitely not working earlier. Now it is! I am doing it exactly as follows, items in brackets with comma in between, which I tried several times earlier with no luck. So unless you magically upgraded me, I have no idea. I did do a database repair earlier, but it did not alert me that anything was fixed.

It does not work for top-level items (try pressing INS). I did not magically update your copy
