Adding a Checkbox Field to Your Form
When creating a new form or editing an existing one, adding an additional checkbox field is as easy as adding a new Checkbox field block in the block editor. You can use the Block Inserter + icon, or a shortcut slash command or use the More options on any of the block’s toolbar to insert a block.
You should add a descriptive label (the checkbox field by default has an empty label) if you want it to be accessible.
Following there is an example of a checkbox field.
Checkbox Field Settings
In the sidebar, you can set the the following text field properties:
- Set whether the field is required,
- Set whether it is an opt-in (the box is shown unchecked and the user can click on the box to check it), or an opt-out checkbox (the box is shown pre-checked and the user can click on the box to uncheck it),
Moreover, as any other block, you can add additional CSS classes to change the styling of the block.
