[Question] Is there a way to prevent multiselect.js from running?

[PhocaCz]

Joomla 4 Administration: When you click on item row, checkbox will be automatically set to checked.

Example: list of articles. When you click on article row, checkbox is selected.

The problem: when the row includes more checkboxes, such checkboxes then are affected too (and it comes to confusing behavior)

media/system/js/multiselect.js

Is there a way to prevent some checkboxes in the row from being affected by multiselect.js (to be ignored by multiselect.js)?

One additional checkbox:

More additional checkboxes:

Thank you.

To avoid unwanted problems, this is a QUESTION, it's not a critique of anyone's work, if you want to answer my question, answer. Thank you.

Remove it from the layout HTMLHelper::_('behavior.multiselect');, that should help.
Currently it does not doing anything useful except checking checboxes "on row click" (bug #25500).

maybe its possible to restrict the javascript to just a few checkboxes but inthis case i would just remove it completely from the form

That another issue, currently no any restriction. It takes all checkboxes that found in the table:

joomla-cms/build/media_source/system/js/multiselect.es6.js

Line 17 in de15a40

this.boxes = [].slice.call(this.tableEl.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]'));

Hi, thank you for your answers.

Yes, removing HTMLHelper::_('behavior.multiselect'); does the trick. The problem is, then you lose the feature to click on the row and have selected whole row (you need to click directly on the checkbox).

Yes,
this.boxes = [].slice.call(this.tableEl.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]'));

I am not Javascript expert but this really looks like it just selects every checkbox it finds. :idea:

[brianteeman]

Yes thats exactly what it does.

If it was me I would simply remove the core js from your component and if necessary write something specific for your use.

Yes, I think, this will be the best way. Thank you.
