Boolean field type – adding via script

[Tom Kerswill]

Hi

I’m programmatically creating fields using:

form.addNewFieldNamedWithType(key,fieldType)

The documentation for that function in the scripting API gives the following field types:

[text, number, calc, location, photo]

I’d like to add a boolean / checkmark / yes-no field.

Is this possible using a script?

Yes, this is possible. Looks like just a case of missing documentation.

form.addNewFieldNamedWithType('my new field','check_mark')

Reference to an earlier post on supported types for addNewFieldNamedWithType:

The field types you can use in the addNewFieldNamedWithType command are all the field type names in lowercase with underscores between the words. Except for Date & Time, which is just date_time. But if you export a CSV file with field type tags enabled, you’ll see them in the header row.
