 * Hello again, i’m trying now to check a checkbox if clicked on other element(fieldset
   legend)
    found a necessary element and with .prop(‘checked’, true); it gets checked(
   visualy), but it does not activate event – adding to summary field. Is there 
   any special syntaxes to check a box in CFF?

 * Hello [@itexilion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/itexilion/)
 * If you want to check all checkboxes into a fieldset field by clicking on its 
   legend, you can insert an “HTML Content” field in the form with the following
   piece of code as its content:
 *     ```
       <script>
       jQuery(document).on('click', '.cff-container-field legend', function(){
       jQuery(this).closest('.cff-container-field').find('[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', true).change();
       });
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Best regards.
