I want to change a Yes/No dropdown from a form to a checkbox, but I cant Update the form Using the function

If(CheckboxName.Value=true,{Value:"Yes"},{Value:"No"})

One typical error is for example: "optionsetvalue-value expected" Can somebody please help?

Hi @aqrj , what part of the formula generates the error? The part 'CheckboxName.Value=true' or the part '{Value:"Yes"},{Value:"No"}'?

Copy your code from items property of dropdown control.
Example
Choices ('Gender (Sample Tables)')

Use field wrapped in choices for Update as below.

If (Checkbox. Value, 'Gender (Sample Tables)'. Yes, 'Gender (Sample Tables)'. No)

@BhaskarDhone Thank you for the reply. I had another question. The function updates the data, but I can't see the the right value to be reflected to the checkbox after the data has been saved. How can I receive the data from the Dataverse to be reflected to checkbox?
I use a Modern Checkbox and those functions are possible:
OnCheck / OnUncheck and Checked (Value on old Checkboxes I think)
