On a DocuSign form the recipient is presented with a checkbox group where they can select anywhere from 1 to 5 boxes. There are 8 boxes altogether. I’d like the selected checkboxes to writeback into a single Salesforce field to minimize the number of Salesforce fields on an Opportunity that already has many fields. Any ideas how to make that happen? 

Hello Team,

 

please be advised that  the writeback functionality for checkbox fields isn't currently supported with DAL, and this aligns with the expected behavior at present. However, I'd like to offer two potential workarounds for this situation:

1. Within your DocuSign Envelope Template, navigate to the Options step and locate the Field Updates section. Here, you have the option to update the field in question based on a specific envelope event. For instance, you can choose to update it when the envelope is completed. (Attached is a screenshot for reference.)

2. Consider using a picklist field instead of a checkbox field. This alternative approach can serve as a workaround for achieving your desired functionality.

These suggestions aim to provide feasible options to address the current limitation regarding checkbox field writeback in DAL.
