Hi @DRAhmed,

You can use the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {
    const selectElement = document.querySelector('#InsertRecordYesNo');

selectElement.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
if(selectElement.checked = true){
document.querySelector("#InsertRecordYesNo").disabled = true;
}
});


});
</script>

 

Make sure to change "YesNo" in "InsertRecordYesNo" to your actual Yes/No field name. 

One question though. What if the checkbox is checked to begin with?

Yes, because fields that are disabled by Rules tends to not get submitted. What you can do is this:

Create a Virtual field that will act as your Checkbox.
Make your Actual Yes/No field's form element as Calculated Value and make it hidden(Advanced tab)
Use a CASE statement to get the value from the Virtual field:
CASE WHEN [@cbParamVirtual1] = 'Y' THEN CAST('1' AS BIT) ELSE CAST('0' AS BIT) END

Then use the suggestion of @futurist to disable the Virtual checkbox. DO NOT include the actual Yes/No field in the section that you are going to disable. It should only contain the virtual checkbox.

i did like you said but i recieve 

Values in one or more fields are invalid.

Oh, unhide the calculated value and check if it is getting any value. it might be getting NULL. if yes, try using single quotes for the virtual field.
CASE WHEN '[@cbParamVirtual1]' = 'Y' THEN CAST('1' AS BIT) ELSE CAST('0' AS BIT) END

Or check your virtual field's "value when checked" and see if you have Y there. You might have a different value than what I use.

Just to add to this, you can actually do this using Rules.

You can put your Yes/No field in its own section,

So that when you set up the Rule, you use the Yes/No field for the criteria, but use its section for the action:

i did like this , CASE WHEN '[@cbParamVirtual1]' = 'Y' THEN CAST('1' AS BIT) ELSE CAST('0' AS BIT) END

it worked but it still didnt register in the table

By it worked but didnt register in the table, do you mean that when you unhid the actual field and tested if the check from the virtual field is getting cascaded, it did, but it did not save upon submission?

Did you put the Virtual field in a separate section as I mentioned? Basically what I had in mind is something like this:

Section 2
VirtualField (Checkbox)

Section 3
Yes/NoField(Calculated Value)

so i tested some things and here is what i found 

everything works 

1) if the virtual field has a rule of getting disabled when checked , the calculated value results in yes but doesnt get saved upon submission 

2) if i remove the rule , it gets saved but this isn't what i want

Sorry, yes I tried creating it back and it isnt working. Not sure what went wrong as this is a known workaround of mine. I don't know what else to try. Maybe anyone else has some other workarounds.
