Example
You might have a custom form with a checkbox field with three checkboxes (Option1, Option 2, and Option 3) and Option 1 is unchecked for all selected documents, and Option 2 and 3 are checked for some and unchecked for other documents that you selected. If you want to check Option 1 for all documents, you must also make Option 2 and 3 match for all the selected projects before you can save your changes. So you must either select them or deselect them so that they can match on all the selected projects. If you do not change any of the options, you can save the field as is, and the documents maintain their current selection for all options.
