Populating a datagrid using a checkbox button from another datagrid

Anvil Q&A

What I’m trying to do:
Hello, I am trying to create two datagrids with repeating panels, to which the first table shows all the data from a dictionary along with a final column having a checkbox where the user can confirm the record being shown is correct.

I’ve connected an event-handler, in my first grid’s repeating-panel’s row-template, to its checkbox’s change event. My event-handler function first checks to see if the box is checked. If it is checked, then it creates a list of dict ionaries, and assigns it to the second grid’s repeating-panel’s items property, thus populating the second grid.

I have not found any documentation on this, has anyone else got any ideas?

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
I have created the two data grids with the same repeating panel design but I am unable to find code on how to get the two datagrids to interact.

Thank you for your time,
Paige

I might rewrite this as

You might not find existing code to do something this specific. But if you outline what needs to be done, step by step, then I find that the code almost writes itself. (Not counting the research needed to identify and specify those steps.)
