No I did not. I ended up using a dropdown with Yes/No values.
The site is now live, so I have to wait until weekends to update the plugin, so that in case things to not go as planned, I don’t interfere with business hours.
By the way I inadvertently stumbled on a way to pre-check the checkbox: put the value in the Options list instead of the Value box. But even then the value didn’t transfer to Salesforce, so I didn’t mention it to you. That behavior was occurring in v2.5.3. I haven’t had a chance to test 2.5.5.
I originally set up this form back before you were able to use API names; that’s why I was still using it.
I refer you to #5 in the very first post in this thread: I already tried using the API name (Request_VM_or_Demo__c). I tried using it again just now — twice — and it still does not transfer the checkbox value.

Do you have time to re-check the code?

Can you elaborate, Nick? I am running out of time…
Toolie
I don’t want the checkbox pre-selected; I was just demonstrating that neither checked nor unchecked is working.
If checked by the user when completing the form, the data is not transferred successfully to Salesforce.
Can you fix?
Toolie
I’m assuming you mean the settings for the checkbox:

Here I show it with the default value “checked” but on the front side, it ignores that value:

Thoughts?
ToolieGood point; I should have thought of that. Nevertheless, I tried entering a 0 and a 1 in the form settings, and neither will show up on the front side of the form. So I’m guessing that since the form isn’t responding to what’s set on the back side, it won’t transmit correctly to Salesforce whether the value is 0 or 1.
Here’s what the setup looks like in Salesforce: it is a checkbox type and the default setting is unchecked.

Ideas?
ToolieWonderful! Here is a link that shows it’s working:

Thank you so much for the quick turnaround Nick!

And even more curious: Here’s what it looks like in Salesforce:

Apparently the plugin stopped at the colon, because only the data AFTER the colon in
GMT -8:00made it into Salesforce.Toolie
Sorry, this site is not yet public, but the link below will show you the front end:

Awesome! Congrats, that’ll make this all so much easier.
Best wishes,
ToolieI know, Salesforce has its way of doing things. Would you mind updating your FAQ to make this particular point a bit clearer?
Thanks and best wishes,
ToolieSo instead of the highlighted field name in the screen capture below, I put in the internal ID for that field?
