Hello!

Use message handlers.

- On each checkbox on the popup create an onActionPerformed event. Use [system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-sendMessage) to send a message to the other view.
- On the root of the other view create, right-click, Configure Scripts ..., and Add Handler ... You can have this write to custom properties to hold the status of the checkboxes on the popup.

Consider using multiselect dropdowns instead.

Now you don't need a popup and the user can see what has been selected.
