Default value for checkbox is displayed undefined

[Ujjwal1]

hi 
i have used checkbox in portal widget. by default value is checked.

I am trying to get checkbox value , it is displayed as undefined. Ideally value should be retrieved as  true. Please suggest.

screenshot:

   <label><input type="checkbox" name=user_access" ng-model="data.user_access" ng-checked="true"> User Access</label><br/>

//value in client script
 spUtil.addInfoMessage("hi01" + $scope.data.user_access);

Hello @Ujjwal1 ,

"ng-model" binds the input to a property on the scope, but you need to defined that property first. 

Also, "ng-model" should not be used together with "ng-checked", else there will be unexpected results. 

You can find more details in the AngularJS documentation for "ngModel" and "ngChecked". Unfortunately I cannot add the links to this message, else it will be deleted.

Regards,

Robert
