    On your screen captures we can see :

    "Check Box126"

    and

    "Checkbox127"

    JavaScript is case sensitive and white spaces matters, so be sure to use a consistent naming.

      You don't need to manage the widget number:

       

      this.getField("CheckBox127").value = "Off"; // uncheck

this.getField("CheckBox127").value = "Yes"; // check, assuming that the export value is "Yes"

      Change 'True' to 'true' it's case-sensitive.

      Same for 'YES' to 'Yes' (assuming it's default value)

        true checks the checkbox and false unchecks the checkbox.
