Toolbox Category: Input

Block Type: [Regular](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block)
{% endhint %}

**`Set Toggle Switch State`** is a [regular block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) that allows you to set the state of [Checkbox](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/checkbox.md) and [Toggle Switch](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/toggle-switch.md) elements on a page or form.

{% hint style="success" %}
Refer to the [Set Toggle Switch State in Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/set-toggle-switch-state-in-data-design.md) block for dynamically generated content.
{% endhint %}

The block comes in two modes which are discussed below.

## Mode 1 <a href="#mode-1" id="mode-1"></a>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/fpDSrO7wsLfaKC0uiLl0" alt="" width="327"><figcaption><p>Set Toggle Switch State (Mode 1)</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The Mode 1 version of the Set Toggle Switch State block consists of (from left to right):

* *Element*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the element you want to set the state of.
* *Data*: [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*boolean*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) *(true/false)* type value to set.

## Mode 2 <a href="#mode-2" id="mode-2"></a>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/jWWtuephdGkzLrBmd6ha" alt="" width="327"><figcaption><p>Set Toggle Switch State (Mode 2)</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The Mode 2 version of the Set Toggle Switch State block consists of (from left to right):

* *Element*: [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts either a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value in the form of a [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors) or an [*element*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value[.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors) The Element block comes pre-attached for your convenience but can be removed and customized.
* *Data*: [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*boolean*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) *(true/false)* type value to set.

## Usage Examples

{% hint style="success" %}
NOTE: The same examples also apply for a [Checkbox](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/checkbox.md) element.
{% endhint %}

The image below shows an example of the Mode 1 version where the *Data* value parameter is attached to a Variable Value block configured to use the variable *b* which has been set to "true". This would toggle the switch to the "ON" position.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/GalZsSsywrS3tXi2KSAy" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Example of Set Toggle Switch State Mode 1</p></figcaption></figure></div>

In the next example we see a Mode 2 version where the *Element* value parameter is attached to a Text block containing a [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors) that selects the same element. This time the *Data* value parameter is attached to the True/False block containing the value "false". This would toggle the switch to the "OFF" position.

{% hint style="success" %}
NOTE: Using a CSS selector, you can operate on multiple elements that match the criteria specified by the selector. See the references below for more information:

* [Mozilla Developer Network article on CSS selectors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors)
