<input data-index="7" data-name="Sector-108" type="checkbox">

how do I uncheck this checkbox based on the data-name attribute selector?

Answer 1

You can use attribute selector

$('[data-name=Sector-108]').prop('checked',true);

You can use attribute selector starts with wild card to get all the elements having name like Sector-

$('[data-name^=Sector-]').prop('checked',false);
