Checkbox not showing checked while viewing item where they should be checked.

Howdy! I have made a multi screen checklist that updates a list. Everything works to create the list item. However I use the same multiscreen setup to view an item that has already been made in the list. The information for the item in the datacards that refer to text or date columns are showing up fine(Screen1). However when i go to other screens that are mainly checkboxes the checkboxes don't show up checked when they should (Screen2). Note: The columns that these check boxes are looking at are Choice columns where i have added the choices "Yes" and "No". I am thinking the problem is that the checkbox by itself doesn't know how to equate a "Yes" value in a column to make the checkbox equal true to get it to show the check. I have tried "if" statements on the datacard default and on the checkbox default but I think I might be getting some syntax wrong.

Thank you so much! I had tried several different variations of something similar and was pulling my hair out. 😀

Hi @glandrum ,

Just put this in the CheckBox Default

ThisItem.YourChoiceFieldName.Value="Yes"

If the statement is true, it will check.
