I am trying to:

To create a form with a checkbox.

I expected to see:

A checkbox with a label that can be clicked

Instead, I got:

A checkbox with a label, that can not be clicked

The problem is, that labels have the "for" attribute set with a different value, than the id of the checkbox. Therefor it can't be clicked.

Solutions:
* no "for" on the label, as it encapsulates the input
* same "for" and "id" for label and input

Hi Adrian

I double-checked on my own test site and it is working when I add a checkbox field to a form, as the for attribute of the label and the id of the checkbox input correspond.

Can you confirm exactly what field type you include in the form?

A Types checkbox field? Or checkboxes? Or a generic field?
