We are you using package acs-aem-commons-content-3.18.2.zip?

For granite/coral resource types - there is no need to use that package. See this AEM article - that includes the use of a checkbox in a MF -

Also - as mentioned - best practice is to use coral/granite resource types.

I still am not sure why how the data is stored in the JCR is of a concern.

This works and is rendered in an HTL component. If check box is clicked - its shows in the HTL component.

Dear Alisson,


Your code with small change explained defintely works in my local with save and load.

Please clear cache in your browser and try removing/readding component to a page.

E.g. test after fresh refresh

Peter

When you selected checkbox, is it storing as a property under a content node? if so then it should fetch checkbox value automatically and display in UI, please check your content node

When I use granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox the value is changed to true when checked and false when unchecked. But there is another problem. I checked so the value is changed but checkbox don't show checked.

Is your intent to read the checkbox in the AEM component and render the value in a component?

But If I need save like JSON format. Do I need not use acs-aem-commons-content-3.18.2.zip?
