Hi,

I have a form with a checkbox bound to a form variable:

```auto
/**
 * @type {Boolean}
 *
 * @properties={typeid:35,uuid:"BD1EE6E9-3AA3-4687-9427-17075517F39E",variableType:-4}
 */
var session = true;

```

But when i show the form, the checkbox isn’t checked?  
Did I forget something?

Make it an Integer with value 1 and it will work.

Kind regards,
