  Hi Team,

  

  As you can see in the above image, when I check a checkbox in a column of boolean dataType, I am getting “on” in the grid.activeEditor.value, instead of true. How can I change this value to true and false? Is there any documentation about this?

  We are using ~5.20241.19

  Hi Abhijeet,
  
  For boolean columns on FlexGrid, the input type checkbox is used as the default editor. To get the true/false values in this case, you’ll need to check the ‘checked’ property of the checkbox instead of the ‘value’ property. The value property of the HTML checkboxes element has a default value set to ‘on’, which appears in the screenshot you shared. There is no specific documentation about this on our website, as this is the default behavior for the HTML checkbox element. However, you can refer to the following link for more information about it - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/checkbox#value_2
  
  In case, you face any issues, please let us know.
  
  Regards
