Add rows to tabular form with apex_item.checkbox?

Question

Hi,
I have created a data manipulation process to add a row to a tabular form. The issue is that I have some checkboxes and when I click the button to call the add row process it doesn't
create any of the checkboxes only the text fields. Is there anyway for me to accomplish creating the checkboxes in this manner?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
So any existing data on the table must be hidden from view, so that this tabular form is, in effect, for inputs only?
If so, you can create dummy rows using something like:
SELECT NULL EMPNO, NULL ENAME, etc
FROM DUALAs long as the process still refers to the EMP table that should be ok. If you still needed to include data from the EMP in certain circumstances, you could then just do a UNION ALL to the above and provide a WHERE clause:
SELECT NULL EMPNO, NULL ENAME, etc
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, etc
FROM EMP
WHERE :P1_SHOW = 1You could also delete the rows using javascript but you would lose any entered changes by the users - either of the above would be used during a page load, though, so any entered data would be saved when the page is submitted (unless you conditionally disabled the process)
