Correct Way to Reference a Checkbox Variable

I am trying to set the Default property of a checkbox (ChkMixTot) to a user selection (set via a global variable (VarLockMix)), otherwise I want to checkbox to be blank. I have the following formula in ChkMixTot.Default:

If(VarLockMix<>"",VarLockMix,false)

It appears to be working, but I get a warning saying "expecting a true or flase value. The current value may cause unexpted behavior".

What do I need to do to ensure this works properly and avoid any "unexpected beahavior"?

Is the VarLockMix a boolean variable? If yes, you could just use the following formula

If(VarLockMix, true, false)

Hi @AGS94

Could you show us the code that you're using to Set the VarLockMix variable?

Further to @Anonymous's post, if VarLockMix is a boolean variable, you can set the Default property to VarLockMix. This is because VarLockMix is logically the same as If(VarLockMix, true, false).

Perfect! The following got rid of all errors when entered in ChkMixTot.Default:

Value(VarLockMix)
