Editing list item or better solution ideas for multi select. EDIT: ANSWERED

[croyleje]

I have rewritten a cli application of mine to take advantage of the bubbletea framework and to learn it. I am having an issue implementing the multi selection of list items. I found a few examples and been able to make a simple list with multi selection but if using the lists bubble and a struct if I add a bool value to my struct I can't work out a way to toggle it from the list view. I have added some code snippets below if anyone has a better idea I am all ears.

link to my repo

Basically I make a struct.

type Item struct {
     Name         string
     Type         string
     Size         string
     Path         string
     DeletionDate string
     IsChecked    bool
}

Then I have an initialModel.

func InitialModel() Model {
     entries, err := cmd.GetEntries()
     if err != nil {
         log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
     }

     items := []list.Item{}
     for _, e := range entries {
         items = append(items, item{
             Name:         e.Name,
             Type:         e.Type,
             Size:         e.Size,
             Path:         e.Path,
             DeletionDate: e.DeletionDate,
             IsChecked:    e.IsChecked,
         })
     }

All of this works fine and so does my views and if I manually go and hard code the IsChecked to true the rendering and updates work fine.

But how could I change the IsChecked from the a main view if I try to do it from the listUpdate function I have a problem getting access to the item itself.
I have tried multiple different ways below is a couple in order of the way it seems like it should work to me. Again if anyone could just point me in the correct direction.

Ways tried.

From listUpdate func.

case key.Matches(msg, m.keyMap.Select):
     m.list.SelectedItem().(item).IsChecked = true  **ERROR can not assign value of type bool
     m.list.SelectedItem().IsChecked = true  **ERROR list.Item has no field IsChecked

I also tried passing the item to a func and doing the same things basically and got basically the same errors.

Next idea and the way I am guessing it is done. Again via the listUpdate func.
Iterate over the items till I find the one that matches the m.list.SelectedItem().(item) and then append IsChecked: true. But then I have the issue of this not being saved anywhere and when you move the cursor up or down the list the state is lost.

I know I am missing something and its probably obvious but any pointers in the write direction or a link to something similar would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT ANSWERED:
The m.list.SetItem is the answer you can use the m.list.SelectedItem().(item) and m.list.Index() as your arguments to it and edit the item from there.

Sorry for the trouble.
