Adobe Checkboxes

[Stephanie249123633cmc]

I have a list of checkboxes, they arent synced. When I check them the default export value is Yes for the checkboxes. When I connect it to my programm it is only getting the Yes value of the ones selected but I would Also like for it to recieve the no value when its not slected. How would I do that. because when I go back to trying to edit then it will only allow me to edit the Yes values.

The value of a unselected checkbox is Off.

How would I set it to Off?

Do you mean how do you clear it? Or how do you set the value that is used when the field is not ticked? The former can be done like this:

this.getField("CheckBox1").value = "Off";

The latter is not possible. It's always set to "Off", and can't be changed.
