CheckboxImproved in 5.10+

A single checkbox field. The field.type property value is checkbox (for conditionals).

Settings

• The Label setting allows rich text to be added. New in 5.10+
  • This allows you to easily bold and italicize options or even add links (perfect for agreeing to terms and conditions).
• Specify a value (e.g. y or yes, etc).
  • Has a default value of Yes, which can be overwritten with any value you want. No matter what value is set manually on the front end, Freeform will interpret it as checked and record the value specified in the form builder.
• May be checked by default.
• Can be used as a User Select email notification.
