true/false field showing 0 as default value

[Ak8977]

Hello all,

I created a true/false type field with choice as drop down with none.
After creating the field for existing records it was showing 0 as the default value instead of none.
How i can fix it.

Thanks,

Hi @Ak8977 , 

1. Basically you are creating new field called true/false which only only values 0 or 1
2. 0 is false, 1 is true 
3. Its not recommended to show --None-- with true/false type variable. It defaults to 0 only, meaning false in backend.
4. To have a clear setup, you can go for choice type & add True & False with backend name as 0 or 1 with dropdown as none, to get what you expect.

Hello,

If you have a requirement to create a dropdown field instead of a checkbox, 

Create a field with type as choice and add the choices as

1. True

2.false

and then set the choice as dropdown with none.

Hope this fixes your issue.

Thanks.
