checked property of checkboxes doesn't work

Contact form specifies a ‘default’ option for checkboxes. This is used to describe which of the checkboxes should be checked by default.

See documentation here.

This option is ignored when using Bootstrap for Contact Form 7.

I worked around it by writing out the checkboxes as html in the contact form form editor. But doesn’t this kind of defeat some of the purpose of CF7? ??

You might consider implementing support the checkbox ‘default’ option in a future update.

Thanks for your attention ??
