How to make a checkbox checked on load

Am I blind but I can’t see a way to set a checkbox value as checked as its initial value

Ah, there is a bug. The checkbox doesn’t check until in preview mode

Yes, ‘On’ is checked, and ‘Off’ is unchecked.

I don’t see that initial value setting any more. Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere or does this have to be linked to a variable if it needs to be checked on default?

It’s in the second tab. See the picture in the first post.

I see, it’s on the overall element not the checkbox itself. Thanks!

My guess is this was done so that the state can control both the nested checkbox and its text.

Something else I found interesting is that the “checkbox” is not an HTML checkbox, but a checkbox icon masking as one. I’d be curious to learn what advantages are gained from building it this way.
