Hello, I'm trying to get value of a field 'checkbox104' from custom php code:

$check_box_get = $this->get('checkbox104', 0);
$check_box_data = $this->data('checkbox104', 0);

if ($check_box_data != 1) {
echo $check_box_get;
echo $check_box_data;
$this->data('checkbox104', 1, true);
return $article_note;}
else {
echo $check_box_get;
echo $check_box_data;
return 0;}

but it always returns default value with $this->get or with $this->data.

Answer

$this->data('fieldname', 'optional_default_value_here') is for form data, get is for {var}s
