Checkbox submissions appear as "on" whether checked or not

[adamscot92]

When the user checks just one of the below inputs

| <input type="checkbox" name="heather-zagros" class="fab-check" id="heather-zagros"/>   | <input type="checkbox" name="cream-zagros" class="fab-check" id="cream-zagros"/>   | <input type="checkbox" name="grey-zagros" class="fab-check" id="grey-zagros"/>

All inputs come through as "on"

did you try searching for your issue? because I did.

this is how form submission works in HTML I believe, you have to group checkboxes together if you don't want them to come in separately. it's possible the data sent is different when using our JS than when not (native POST), in which case that is a bug.

also we have a demo to show what grouping checkbox fields is like if that helps!

@adamscot92 - did that explanation about checkboxes make sense? were you able to use that or the examples to solve your issue? thanks!

Feel free to reopen if this is unclear or how to go about doing this, but it sounds like the original issue just needs to wrap the checkboxes together into a fieldset to only send the correct ones as on or off. Hope that helps!
