 * The Checkbox Form Element doesn’t seem to be saving data nor displaying data 
   correctly.
 * I have a field that shows a value of “1” when I change it’s Form Element to text
   field, but it shows the checkbox as unchecked.
 * It doesn’t matter if the checkbox field is checked or unchecked when I save a
   record, the value of the field in the database doesn’t change.

 * Do you have the “values” for the checkbox field defines as 0,1?
 * If so, the zero won’t work as a value, you should use ‘yes,no’ or something like
   that.
