Hello,

When adding a checkbox field type as a filter in a search view, this field is considered as being a text field type. Meaning that the end user has to input a text instead of ticking a checkbox.

See screenshot attached or the screencast (hidden link)

Thanks

Hi Stirea,

Thank you for getting in touch.

What you can do is use the field setting option to change the type of filter. See Screenshot

This should be able to help you.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks Shane, yes, that helps! 🙂 I was so surprised (it did not happen that way previously) that I didn't even think of having a look at those settings.
