ConfiForms - Set default values on a Checkbox Group

[Matthew Johnson]

I've created a Checkbox Group field, 'myPony' with two entries:

id: one

label: One Pony

id: two

label: Two Ponies

Now I want to select some defaults using a rule for field definition. I'd like to accomplish the following scenarios:

• 'one' by default
• all options by default

How do I achieve this?

Thank you very much!

Hi @Matthew Johnson 

Welcome to this community

You can set defaults via ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView) macro, setting the parameter to override defaults or via ConfiForms Field Definition Rules macros

myPony=one

or 

myPony=one,two

Hi Alex,

Thanks, that clarified things for me - I've got it working! Also, the video was helpful to pull it all together.
