   Hello,

   I have made a special "I accept the terms" checkbox and made it a required field. However, no matter if you click the box or not, I get an error saying "At least one item in this field is required."

   When I uncheck the required box and only uncheck the required box I get an error: Error: A checkbox field is not configured properly in settings.

   How do I fix? I cannot find docs on how to properly configure a checkbox.

   I have tried several different options, I think this has to be a bug. If I just use it with a simple label and checkbox it doesn't work. Same as above. If I check required, I get "At least one item in this field is required" and if I uncheck the required box I get the ERROR "Error: A checkbox field is not configured properly in settings."

   I can't find any instructions on how to properly configure a checkbox. Are there some? What I am missing?

   Hello,

   I think I figured it out. For some reason the Label field does not support HTML. So I can't do a checkbox with everything inline.

   Strange, but I guess it has to be that way.

   Hello,

   I take that back. There is a bug. I spent half the day on this. The problem is not putting HTML code in the label field, it is a COMMA in plain text in the label field.

   If the form can't take simple characters, then shouldn't it HTML encode before being put on the page? Or at least a warning?

   If you use a label with a comma, you must escape it with a slash before the comma

   Hello Mike,

   Or do as I did and just use , in its place. It took me a long time to find this error. Do you think you could note it in the docs on the page so that people that come after me have it easier?

   It always has been noted on the help page and the instructions on the form edit page

   Thank you, I have no idea how I could have missed it.
