This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I've set up some checkboxes fields and then use the following code to bring them into the front end:
[types field='week-1' option='0' state='checked'] YES [/types]
[types field='week-1' option='0' state='unchecked'] NO [/types]
This was working absolutely fine (see screenshot 01 with the title 'pre commencement'), and seems to be a pretty standard option for Toolset. However, since I've run the updates on all of the Toolset plugins, it's stopped working...
Solution:
it is a known issue:
There is an issue with the Checkbox fields that save “0” when they are not set on a post.
You will need to change all checkboxes field setting to "When unchecked, don't save anything to the database", and resave all posts, and test again.

Hi,
I've set up some checkbox lists and then use the following code to bring them into the front end:
[types field='week-1' option='0' state='checked'] YES [/types]
[types field='week-1' option='0' state='unchecked'] NO [/types]
This was working absolutely fine (see screenshot 01 with the title 'pre commencement'), and seems to be a pretty standard option for Toolset. However, since I've run the updates on all of the Toolset plugins, it's stopped working...
If one field in the checklist has been ticked, they all automatically bring in the 'Yes' option, rather than a mixture of Yes & No.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks.
Thanks for the details, I can duplicate the problem, they are checkboxes fields, and it is a known issue:

There is an issue with the Checkbox fields that save “0” when they are not set on a post.
I have tried it with your database dump file in my localhost, please try these:
1) Edit post field group "Task List - Pre-Commencement", edit checkboxes field "Pre-Commencement", switch to option:
When unchecked, don't save anything to the database
2) Edit the "Job" post "Editor's First Project", save it again
3) Test it in front-end, it works fine, see screenshot checkboxes.JPG
So you will need to change all checkboxes field setting to "When unchecked, don't save anything to the database", and resave all posts, and test again.
