How to populate checkbox through api?

I am creating a document through the api. How do I populate a checkbox when using the api? More specifically what value can I put in a datasource to populate a checkbox field?


Also, how do you name a document when or after you are doing a merge? I am using the php sdk ->

$job = $mergApi->MergeDatasource($clientId, $fileGuId, $addDataSource->result->datasource_id, “pdf”, null);

I see these documents under the My Assemblies folder but I cant figure out how to name them.

That demo was not helpful at all. I know how to add a value to field in a document using the merge api and a datasource. I can set the value for text fields just fine. I can not set the value for a checkbox in my datasource. What value do I give a checkbox in my datasource to make it merge as a checkbox that is checked in my document?

Hello,

Thank you for coming back.

If you need to fill the checkbox field , then you should use boolean value (true or false) for it . For example:

$field->name = $fields->result->fields[$i]->name;
$field->type = "boolean";
$field->values = true;

Please investigate our 35 demo example , it will show how to correctly fill all types of the fields.

If you will have more questions please feel free to contact us.
