Boolean fields showing false by default.

Hi,

Do boolean fields default to False if a state is not selected when a user is adding a record?

With other field types, say a dropdown, if no selection is made, the entries do not appear within an the records list of fields.

It seem that if a boolean field is used and neither True of False is selected when the record is added then it defaults to False.

Is there a way to change this please? i.e. if neither true nor false is selected then don't show the field on the record.

Thanks.

No, there is no way to change, you can use 'radio' field to choose default value.

also field 'radio', if no default value is selected.

I am not sure but by default boolean field is not selected at all. Only after choice it saves 1 or -1. But 0 is nothing.

Although there is parameters there is one how to calculate false values. Only those that was saved explicitly with -1 or together with those that has no value or equal 0.

Try to change that parameter.

I also am seeing this.

If no value is selected then only FALSE is shown all the time - I really want the field not to be shown at all if nothing is selected (like other fields).

The setting for the Boolean field FALSE value mode : Articles with False Value

Thanks.

Bob.
