What the checkbox field does

The checkbox field maps to an Airtable Checkbox field type. It always stores a boolean value in Airtable:

• true when the respondent selects the positive option
• false when they leave it unchecked or choose the negative option

You can choose how that boolean is presented on the form.

​

Field-specific settings

Universal settings that also apply: Label, description, required, read-only, conditional visibility, conditional read-only, and custom validation rules.

​

Display styles

​

Checkbox

The default Airtable-style boolean input. Best for consent, terms acceptance, and optional toggles.

​

Yes / No

Shows two explicit choices, Yes and No. This works well when you want the question to read like a decision instead of a toggle.

​

Switch

Shows a switch control for a cleaner, more compact boolean interaction. This works best when the question already makes sense as an on/off setting.

​

Using checkboxes in conditional logic

Checkbox fields are commonly used as conditions in display rules and page visibility. The available operators are:

​

Common use cases

• Consent and terms acceptance: “I agree to the terms and conditions” with Required enabled
• Opt-in checkboxes: “Send me updates about my application”
• Confirmation toggles: “I confirm this information is accurate”
• Conditional branching: Show or hide fields based on a yes/no answer. For example, show a “Company name” field only when “Are you representing a company?” is checked or answered Yes.

​

Example: required consent checkbox

To create a required terms checkbox:

1. Add a Checkbox field to your form
2. Set the label to “I agree to the terms and conditions”
3. Enable Required so the form cannot be submitted without checking the box
