RESOLVED: All checkboxes default to YES

    All of the checkboxes in my form were checked, by default.
    According to the documentation, specifying a default of ‘no’ (without the quotes) should turn them off, but that solution doesn’t work.

    When the default value was unspecified or specified as ‘no’, ‘No’, or ‘NO’, the checkbox was always checked, by default.

    The solution appears to be a compound action:
    1. Specify ‘Yes, No’ in the VALUES field (without the quotes)
    2. Specify either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ (without the quotes) in the DEFAULT field.

    To date, that is the only thing I’ve found that works.
    Conclusion: Documentation on checkboxes needs to be updated.

    Yes, I’m sorry it’s not clear in the docs. You can also do this with a single value and no default value, it will be unchecked.

    Good to know.
    I take it then that a single value of “yes” with no default would also work.

    P.S.
    The captcha field appears to be working again.
    (When I looked at on in Chrome on my Apple laptop over the weekend, it appeared to failed. Since then, the plugin was updated. That must have been the fix, but it is now indeed working on my laptop.)

    Ok! Time to purchase about $70 worth of plugins…
