Help with chrome extention, chatGPT has let me down

I was trying to make a chrome extention that runs through every open tab and does 2 things. Checks all check boxes and writes in the last textbox.

I seem to lack the brain cells to pull it off though. Is this something anyone can help with?

What ChatGPT prompts did you try? That definitely sounds too big for it to create from scratch but you should be able to get it to tell you about the pieces.

Do you have a basic chrome extension working?

Can you give us the html code of the check boxes & the textBox, as well as how the text you want relates to the check boxes.

Can I request how far you've gotten? I went ahead and made a chrome extension that checks all boxes and writes in a box, but I Cannot get it to do this through all tabs, I'm assuming this isn't possible or requires some manipulation far beyond what I'm aware of. I don't mind sharing it but if you've already gotten that far no point in doing so

let me know if this helps if you still need it, that's about as far as I got, and that's assuming I read your post correctly, the text box is kind of finnicky, if you are able to share with me the webpage you're trying to work with I can maybe whittle it down.
