I have this page:

enter image description here

there is an option of sortable: move items from the lower table to the upper table. at this moment, I have only two items (each table has one item).

The upper table contains tasks for a worker that weren’t done and the lower table contains tasks for a worker that were done.

the word: Yes/No says if the task were/weren’t done.

I am trying to do the next thing:

when user move an item from the lower table to the upper table, I want the checkbox to be automatically checked (so it always move from ‘Yes’ to ‘No’).

this is my index.html.erb (I use best_in_place in order to update the database while the value is changed):

<html>
<body>

<ul id="sortable1" class="connectedSortable"> 

  <% @tasks_worker_todo.each do |task| %>
        <li class="ui-state-default">
            <%= best_in_place task, :done, :classes => 'highlight_on_success', type: :checkbox, collection: %w[No Yes] %> | 
            <%= task.admin_mail %> | 
            <%= task.task %>
        </li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

<br><br>

<ul id="sortable2" class="connectedSortable">
  <% @tasks_worker_done.each do |task| %>
        <li class="ui-state-highlight">
            <%= best_in_place task, :done,:classes => 'highlight_on_success', type: :checkbox, collection: %w[No Yes] %> | 
            <%= task.admin_mail %> | 
            <%= task.task %>
        </li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

and this is my application.js

$(document).ready(function(){
 jQuery('#sortable1, #sortable2')
 .sortable(
 {'connectWith':'#sortable1',
 'dropOnEmpty':true,
 'scroll':true,
  items: "li:not(.emptyMessage)",
  receive: function(event, ui) {
         alert('moved');
         //hide empty message on receiver
         $('li.emptyMessage', this).hide();

         //show empty message on sender if applicable
         if($('li:not(.emptyMessage)', ui.sender).length == 0){
             $('li.emptyMessage', ui.sender).show();
             alert('alon');
         } else {
             $('li.emptyMessage', ui.sender).hide();
         }            
     }

  });
});

any help appreciated!

    Try this in the receive handler:

    The element being moved is ui.item

     ui.item.find('span').click();
