### Settings

The Checkbox field does not feature any distinctive settings beyond the standard ones.

> [!NOTE]
> You can find a comprehensive list of all basic settings in the ['Overview' section](https://strife.app/docs/reference/fields.md).

### Define with JSON

When defining templates using JSON, this field is represented using:

* **Component Name:** `str-switch`
* **Type:** `checkbox`
* Reference ID: `str-switch|checkbox`

The settings above map into the `editor.attributes` object inside the JSON definition.

```json
{
  ...
  "editor": {
    "name": "str-switch",
    "type": "checkbox",
    "propertyName": "...",
    ...    
  },
  ...
}
```
