Checkbox mystery

Classic Servoy

I have a text field formatted as checkboxes with 2 values (1st, 2nd). With both items checked, I changed to another form that contains the same field but formatted as a text-field not as a checkbox. I clicked into the field formatted as a text-field (but did not modify). Then returned to the original form to find that the checkboxes now appear unchecked. Went back to the text-field and the data appears as it did before with correct values.

Just noticed similar oddities with a datetime field formatted as hh:mm.

Might this be similar/comparable with my reported issue http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t=1711

you shoudn’t use a textfield to hold the values of a checkbox selection
Always use a textarea voor this. Because we are storing it with a \n between them. And the textfield can’t handle \n so it will convert them to one line.

Thank you, mystery understood now :)
