Post for checkbox fields

russlevy

Hi,

I have a checkbox field which has value 1 or 0. I initialize it with options: [{label: '', value: 1}]. If the field is not checked on post then it is not submitted at all. Is there a way to get this submit with 0? Also in general it submits within an array. It would be better if there could be a checkbox which simply submitted 1 or 0.

My solution in the meantime is

editor.on('preSubmit', function(e, data, action){
            data.data.done = (typeof data.data.done == 'undefined') ? 0 : 1
        })

but wondering if there is a better way of doing this.

Thanks!

Hi,

This is just the way that HTML checkboxes work I'm afraid. If nothing is checked, then an empty value is sent.

If you have a simple boolean, then a radio input (radio) might be a better option. Otherwise a custom field type would be required.
