How to get the status of the checkbox from the database

Twickbot 14 Jun, 2017

The database has an field "Active" with the values "0" and "1".
Accordingly, there is a checkbox in the form.
I can write the state of this checkbox in the database.
But, I did not find in the settings how to get the status of the checkbox from the database when opening the form page.
Found only the default setting of "Checked" or "Not checked".

How can I set the state of the checkbox based on the value in the database when opening the form page?

Hello Twickbot,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I show/hide a textarea when a checkbox is clicked?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Thank you for trying to help, calculus00 - automated service, but your advice is not related to the question I asked.

Hi Twickbot,

You will need to use the form data provider for this, its under the "Display section" action settings, set this to the data set which has the checkbox data, if you are reading the values from the database then it should be something like this:

{var:read_data_name.model}

I may also add a setting to switch this at the next update!
