It's maybe a newbie question.
I have a field of true/false type. On the insert record form (figure A), it is shown as checkbox, but in the list of records is shown as a combobox(list of true or false).
I wonder if there is a way to show on the list form (figure B) as a checkbox as well.
FIGURA A (insert /update record)
FIGURE B (list of record)
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Andre,
List view is nothing but a representation of how data is stored in database.
So as you rightly say value for User Interface is checkbox & is expected while in database it will be capturing actual value & thus the difference.
There does not exists any way to show it as checkbox or any other Boolean field as checkbox in List layout.
Hope it is clear.

Hi,
that is not possible. Table list just indicates the data stored in different fields on that table record.
It is by design since checkbox is boolean i.e. true/false so on list it would show as true/false
On form it would be shown as Checkbox only.
