Preloading values not reflected in front end webapp checkbox

Has anyone had a similar problem when preloading a record on a webapp, the context shows the correct value, but this is not reflected in the html object? I am using the new page activity: DAVID-GARCIA_2-1610550485724.png

 

 
_debug shows ctx context preloaded with flag correctly

On the webapp frontend the checkbox is not checked.....

Input form syntax:
 
<input id="uni_news" type="checkbox" checked="checked" data-nl-bindto="xpath" data-nl-xpath="@universityNews" />

Hello @DAVID-GARCIA ,

 

Yes, I was facing a similar issue.

 

I solved it by updating the checkbox value with javascript

 

Here is a sample code

<% if(ctx.vars.value=="1"){ %>
<Script>
document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = true;
</script>
<% }% >

 

Thanks,

Manoj

I can see this issue only affects when using a custom schema, I am testing another webapp which preloads data from the recipient table and the data preloads just fine.

I am not sure but I think custom schema does not go well with the data-nl tags

Yeah that seems to be the case, wondering why noone from engineering is fixing this issue, I think the issue is only with the checkboxes and possible radios, as the data preloads fine to a text input type when is a string, but not checkboxes.

Hi Manoj, I can't seem to reply to you, I am also inclined to use that approach as I had spent the last 24 hours troubleshooting the issue to no avail, does that mean this is an actual bug?
