[Python] list of checkboxes working in an unusual way

Im trying to create a list of checkboxes, where the RunAllTest is checked by default. when I check any other multi-select checkbox, the RunAllTest will be unchecked and when i check RunAllTest, all other multi-select checkbox should get unchecked.

Challenge: checking RunAllTest only works when i click on the checkbox not on the label checking on other items only works when i click on the label not on the checkbox

I tried using using pressed which works on both checkbox and text label but it ignores the logic

please help me solve this behavior, either all item should respond to clicking/pressing on checkbox or on the label
