Editor - set default value of checkbox - unespected behavior.

Tester2017

Maybe I am overlooking something, but I always worked with false/true 0/1 unchecked/checked.

To set a checkbox default as checked I have to give as default value a 0. Every other value will uncheck the checkbox.

Is there a reason for this behavior?

This code will give a checked checkbox:

            {
                label: `Hide group:`,
                name: `group.hide`,
                def: 0,
                type: `checkbox`,
                separator: `,`,
                options: [
                    ``
                ]
            },

And this an unchecked one:

            {
                label: `Hide group:`,
                name: `group.hide`,
                def: 1,
                type: `checkbox`,
                separator: `,`,
                options: [
                    ``
                ]
            },

I am sorry, forget my question as I indeed was overlooking something. In other words: I made a mistake and already found a solution for it.

For to let it work the way I wished I needed to change to code the following way:

           {
                label: `Hide group:`,
                name: `group.hide`,
                def: 0,
                type: `checkbox`,
                separator: `,`,
                options: [
                    { label: ``,value: 1 }
                ],
                unselectedValue: 0
          },

Thanks for posting back - yes the unselectedValue option of checkbox is the way to do this.
