CheckBoxItem and defaultValue

[asgillett]

Hi. I've encountered an annoying little problem when setting the default value of a checkbox to "true".
If I create the item in JavaScript:

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    fields: [
        {title:"In Stock", type:"checkbox", defaultValue:true}
    ]
});

it works. However if I create the same item in XML:

<DynamicForm width="300">
    <fields>
        <field title="In Stock" type="checkbox" defaultValue="true"/>
    </fields>
</DynamicForm>

then the checkbox needs to be clicked twice before it is cleared.

Instead of <field> use <CheckboxItem>.

Thanks the the quick reply. Unfortunately <CheckboxItem> behaves in the same way as <field>.

We just double-checked, the following works as expected:

<DynamicForm width="300" autoDraw="true">
    <fields>
        <CheckboxItem title="In Stock" type="checkbox" defaultValue="true"/>
    </fields>
</DynamicForm>

You're right! But as well as using <CheckBoxItem>, I also need to set autoDraw="true" in the <DynamicForm>.

Thanks for your help.

No, that has no effect on the behavior (we just double-checked that too).

The first time you tried, you probably just had a typo.

Hang my head in shame.

I was using CheckBoxItem instead of CheckboxItem.

No worries. Note that if you get the spelling wrong you should see a warning in the Developer Console, so keep an eye out for those.
