So, I am excited about the new edit type "Check", but I don't know how to use it.

What data type should be used with "Check"
What acceptable values?

My experience with check boxes are boolean and one would use an IsChecked() type function.

Help appreciated.

The check edit sets the value to 0 or 1.  I think the regular date type (string) should be fine.

Thanks, I'll play with that tonight!

Just a note that it also works fine with the data type set to Integer.

"What acceptable values?"

I don't have time to test right now, but I was surprised to find the "Acceptable Values" field remained editable upon choosing the 'check' type, and wondered what might happen if I put "one;two" in there...

While comparing, I see that the default "Rating" field has acceptable values of 1;2;3;4;5 but if we set a user field to edit type 'five stars', acceptable values again remains editable.

I think in these cases, best practice is to leave acceptable values empty.

The check edit sets the value to 0 or 1.  I think the regular date type (string) should be fine.

In the current build (20.0.27), you won't be able to change this in the tag window. A fix is on its way though.
