Changes Overview
The code currently uses
setAttribute
/removeAttribute
to update the checked status of the checkbox, this is the incorrect method to use. Checkboxes have achecked
property that can be set.See https://aileenrae.co.uk/blog/programatically-check-uncheck-checkbox-javascript/
Implementation Approach
Switch to setting
checkbox.checked
propertyTesting Done
Manually in browser.
Verification Steps
Open a collaborative session with task item extension available.
In one window check/uncheck the box a few times, then in the other window do the same.
Notice that the update appears to no longer propagate, the checkbox state does not change in the other window.
It is actually changing the attribute on the document node correctly, which you can see if have styling applied such as this (on the task item):
With the fix, it works again!
