Hi Team, I have a form on my app right now. How do I make a checkbox pre-checked? Right now the checkbox is for subscribing to the newsletter. I’d like to have them “opted in” already when they submit the form, and specifically “opt-out” if they don’t want to be subscribed. ---

Have the value in the Google sheet for this column data to be 1. Then it will appear as pre-checked. ---

I’m not sure that’s possible. I tried setting up condition value of TRUE on the screen that would contain the form button. Then on the form, I created a column component that would write the true value from the previous screen to a true/false column on the form response sheet. I then set the checkbox to write to that same column. I had hoped that the incoming condition value would set the outgoing condition value, but it didn’t work. This might be a good feature request to allow a default value for switches and checkboxes. > **[Feature Requests](https://features.staging.glideapp.io/)** > > Feature requests for Glide Apps ---

then again, there may be a bug with the true/false and switch/checkbox. I’m not sure if that would solve this problem though. > [@Switch button not translating to TRUE or FALSE on Google Sheet](https://community.glideapps.com/t/switch-button-not-translating-to-true-or-false-on-google-sheet/5039): > > Switch button not translating to TRUE or FALSE on Google Sheet. I’ve added switches on my layout and triggering/not triggering the switch when adding a dataset leaves the Google Sheet cell empty. ---

There’s no way to do this now, but it’s a great idea. ---

Have you tried setting the default value? ![Screenshot_20241104-130436](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/3/8326df17cb21e518eacbd2b91222cefa60c8d237.png) ---

Same question. Have you tried setting a default for the choice? ![Screenshot_20241105-113127](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/4/84c4cade028d10b429cd9ba76e4a0a7a609ea2d2.png)
